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...

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
