War is over, no not that war

Somebody actually called to tell me about a week late to say, “Hey, did you hear? The war is over! Blu-ray wins out over HD format. Can you believe it?” As it turns out Best Buy and Netflix have both decided to drop HD in favor of adopting the Blu-ray format.
Named for the blue laser that reads it, these discs hold many times the data of a normal DVD. In fact, storing 50GB some dual-layered discs hold more than some ipods. Now if only my car could read Blu-ray…I’m sure it’s not that far in the future. Toshiba may have won the Betamax-VHS wars but Blu-ray will help Sony boost the sales of their PS3 console.

Bluray will be replaced anyway in 5 years by digital downloads or an even higher density format.
Technically, HDDVD has the better specs in the end, and it will last longer than a BD disc. It’s build quality is better than that of BD and they don’t scratch anywhere near as easily.
Everyone is going to hate it when the DRM starts kickin in.
