Blu-ray vs HD DVD - the war that's strangling HD
As the prices of Blu-ray and HD DVD players keep dropping, along with
high-def flat panel TVs, consumers buying a next-gen player are having
to make a choice, not knowing which format will ultimately win, buoyed
only perhaps by the fact their new player should also upscale regular
DVDs. Will 2008 be the year the high-def madness ends?

Xbox is vital for HD DVD survival
I have absolutely no idea whether the story over on Smarthouse about the development of a new Xbox incorporating an HD DVD drive is true or just wistful musing on the part of a Singaporean Toshiba executive. However, if HD DVD is to have any chance of winning the format war, then the idea is a project whose time is long overdue.

minutes and combo Blu-Ray/HD DVD drives are standard, as combo DVD±R is
today.

Egg on faces of Paramount, Dreamworks over Blu-ray
The move last month of Paramount and Dreamworks to give the Blu-ray HD video format the flick in favour of HD DVD for some easy money looks slightly ridiculous in the face of the latest sales figures from video mag site Home Media Magazine based on Nielsen VideoScan First Alert data. It turns out that of the top 10 best selling videos for the week ending August 26, the only two on the list from Paramount and Dreamworks were in Blu-ray format!
