The Battle Continues… HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray
DreamWorks, Paramount drop Blu-ray – Home Entertainment Articles | Digital Life
I’ve been prevaricating on this issue for some time, especially since Blu-Ray were seeming to be getting the upper hand in the HD DVD format war, but now major studios Dreamworks and Paramount have declared they will be releasing their movies exclusively on HD-DVD from now on. So for movies like Shrek The Third, this will be the only format. I still think the battle is far from over, but it’s about time for me to dip my feet in, especially since the cheapest of all HD options is an add-on drive for the Xbox-360 at less than $200. Actually there’s a bit of a groundswell behind Xbox now – they’ve lowered their prices, added HDMI in the newest consoles, have MSN support now, and have some good games coming onstream. The latest we are playing is an oldie but a goodie – the classic Prince of Persia, downloadable on Xbox live arcade.
Happy with my home PC at the moment – put an extra 2 Gig of RAM in last night which has made a big difference in terms of speed and stability. Combined with my internet speed boost last week it’s made the Vista experience much less frustrating, although I’ll still be watching with interest the results of ob1′s foray into the world of Apple.
