Digital Trends declares Blu-ray dead; HD-DVD the winner

You really have a chip on your shoulder! It's obvious that fair bias is out of the question here.

The Battle is over for the next-generation consoles too.

The first official, NPD, sales figures for all next-generation console sales in the U.S. are now available and they suggest that Nintendo's Wii sold more than twice the hardware that Sony's PS3.

The PS3 sold 197,000 units, a figure which seems to match well with industry speculation that the Japanese consumer electronics giant only managed to ship 200,000 units instead of the 400,000 promised.

Nintendo's innovative Wii console sold 476,000 units and has established itself as a true challenger as Microsoft's XBox 360.

XBox 360 sold 511,000 units, but it relied on a one year head start and the much-hyped release of the Gears of War title.

most reviews from professional sound and visual mags (not to mention the mainstream press) have all said the PS3 for $600 shows a picture that is as good or better then any of the standalone blu-ray players, whilst offering HD-DTS (you know sound is more then just about having 5.1 or 7.1 its about the quality) and 1.3 HDMI (that none of the standalone players have).

Best of all it offers a proper professional 30x fast-forward...pretty good for a system that no one wants.

It will also offer upscaling on DVDs (soon) and further processing of BR media once the firmware is finalised. Also these gold ear types have all said that for $600 such a player is a steal and that its gaming element, even think games are for children, really clichs the deal deal. In other words the professionals are all recommending this device purely for movies alone.

I'd say the PS3 is a piece of technology that is a affordable, scalable, and is future proof in terms of how its outputs operate.

None of the standalone players offer. I can't upgrade the firmware on my $2000 receiver or my $1000 player. Its static and after a few years, something you've noted in your rants, one is forced to upgrade.

At least with the PS3 I've future proofed myself for a significant period of time for a cheap price.

Just to further my point about how Sony IS working to upgrading the device, just the other day they enabled optical sound and HDMI sound to output simultaneous.

I see that, "chugs" talks about the PS3 "upscaling on DVD", meaning your older movies would looked better somehow. Well let me tell you all, I have seen the so called "upscaling " on a blu-ray DVD player, and it "SUCKS", Trust me, it looks like SHIT. Of course you are only going to find this out when you put one of your normal DVD's in and play it in 1080p.
This might work on some movies, but if you think it will work on them all, man will you be disappointed.

Everyone would love the best vid, best audio, best every damn thing there is, but no one wants the shit that seems to have to come with it. Let the players and the discs sit and rot on the shelves. Just don't buy em and send a clear message that it simply is not acceptable to screw everyone around with the bundled bullshit.

Xbox360 does this, PS3 does that...PSP does this and DS does that while the Wii does the other thing. Blah blah blah!

Everyone should decide for themselves...but quite frankly Blu-ray offers more capacity so it's the drive I want in my game console - not DVD and not HD-DVD - Blu-ray!

UMD movies died because $ony did not go the extra mile (give users a UMD writer already so that we can encode our own movies onto it, sell it for less than a DVD...it contains less content in a lower resolution so don't screw the consumer over).

Honestly, if Sony and the rest of them didn't fuck up Blu-Ray, it'd be the technology I'd wand -- it's technically superior to HD-DVD. Unfortunately, big media doesn't like us.

Got my latest Disney Blueray and it would NOT play on my Sony!Blueray. $30.00 bucks and not even an image. Disney has it's head in the sand. If the Blue Ray requires new software for it's discs then Disney should have provided itwith the new title disc! This is just the beginning, content in the sand and hardware in the twlightzone!

I've watched a blu ray dvd on a 1080p tv and it SUCKS!!! Everything about looks fake and you can tell that the actors are acting now. It's too real for it's own good. I watched Transformers last night and yes it looked clean but too clean. You can actually tell that they're using a green screen and you can tell they're filming in a studio.
