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...

      About $4k brand new, available from vendors in Oz, or via an importer from Japan. Although that is for an R34 box, so you also need to buy the push clutch front plate (brand new from Nissan) and swap that over, and drill the bellhousing for a push clutch slave cylinder.

      Absolutely could be. I collected data logs from when the O2 sensor was still out and also after I had replaced it so will try to compare them. Pretty confident that the affect is lowered with the new sensor, will check logs at the same RPMs/conditions.

      thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price

      Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?
