They both have the same potential for quality.

Blu-rays saving grace is the ps3. Standalone players for both formats are yet to really take off. It's good though if hd dvd finishes up, it'll make it a lot easier to start a hd movie collection.

Blue ray has a large advantage with it's storage capacity over hd....can't quote the figures from memory. But there is a fair difference between the 2. Picture quality ect much of a muchness, but when it comes to hd quality movies and sound that extra storage capacity made all the difference for movie studios ect when it came time to sign partnership agreements ect.

It's about time :D finally good to have a winner

Heard that Blu-ray has offered Toshiba/Microsoft a cheaper buy-in according to www.Gizmodo.com and there are rumours that the new Xbox360 model will come with a blu-ray based rom drive :S

yeah you are right about the storage, picture quality wise they are almost equal, with HD-dvd having a few extras like Picture in picture and some other options, but these are going to be included in the Blu-ray 2.0 update which I think has already been put out

Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead.....

Seriously if you didn't see the world turning blu even before the war was over you had to be blind. The only place that HD DVD was actually doing rather well was in the U.S from memory. PS3 would have been a huge advatage for BD because every PS3 is a BD Player sold. There was some shakey ground with PS3 sales but they have panned out nicely.

As one of my friends said "If toshiba ever make BD Players I am going to buy one just to rub their noses in it". Simple fact is they just wanted to cause consumer confusion for the last few months and rake in some more money while doing it. BD was in for the long haul no matter what.

The DVD player at home died so we went to Harvey Norman to buy a new one... They didn't have any Blu-ray as of yet, and the only current 'next gen' (lol) DVD player they had was a Toshi HD DVD, it was $1099 slashed to $299, my mum was sooo keen to get it... However I smelt a fish which was later confirmed by a BBC report that there was a 'rumor' that Toshi was going to end production and hence end the format war... Mum took it back the next day... The afternoon she took it back, the announcement became official...

Shifty pricks fooling mums.... Ggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! Fcking asshats...

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
