Blu-Ray = Sony. My DVD drives don't work at the moment because of Sony. Who here believes Sony should have control of more hardware technological or otherwise? Sony will come nowhere near my hardware. We must fight this.

I'm not sure that the adult film industry is going to have as large an impact as was cited in the VHS/Betamax format debate. Too many people get their pr0nz straight from the teat that is to say the internet. Plus as bandwidth becomes cheaper and cheaper it's going to make less and less sense to put media on dvds in the first place: the result of this "media war" is going to matter less than the result of VHS v. Beta.
Few can put it better than Danny Devito did in "Other People's Money."
"You know at one time there must've been dozens of companies making buggy whips. And I'll bet the last company around was the one that made the best goddamn buggy whip you ever saw. Now how would you have liked to have been a stockholder in that company? You invested in a business and this business is dead. Lets have the intelligence lets have the DECENCY to sign the death certificate collect the insurance and invest in something with a future."

Blue Ray had slowly been winning the support of the majority of the motion picture companies...and honestly it's got like twice the capacity of HD-DVD. I don't understand what the big debate is about....
The BDA has over 150 members. Its Board of Directors consists of Apple Computer Corp.; Dell Inc.; Hewlett Packard Company; Hitachi Ltd.; LG Electronics Inc.; Mitsubishi Electric Corporation; Panasonic (Matsushita Electric); Pioneer Corporation; Royal Philips Electronics; Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.; Sharp Corporation; Sony Corporation; TDK Corporation; Thomson; Twentieth Century Fox; Walt Disney Pictures and Television; Warner Bros. Entertainment.
HD DVD is promoted by Toshiba NEC Sanyo and most recently Microsoft HP and Intel.
On a positive note HP are a bunch of whores with no allegiance

agilent is one of the companies formed when HP broke up a few years back. They make electronic equipment. I don't know if that's the "agilents" we're referring to.

holy hell thats awesome. but there'd be no such thing as a rewritable disc. you'd just have to throw out the old one and print a new one. but then again if it's just paper who cares?

scratch that first statement.... Blu-ray loses the war before it starts
