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

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...

      Started sifting thru my brakes to decide which ones I will run on Clem   Made me think I should just put them all on Silver...for when brake fade just isn't an option   Should be able to bump rotor up from 343x32 to 348x36 off Supra. Not sure if the Supra annulus is right for the Alcons or APs but trying g to find a used Supra\M4 rotor to test fit The Alcons seem to gain 1-2mm clearance which all helps

      HR34 GT speedo issue

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.

      Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate
