This was a rediculous article.

“In terms of hardware pricing and sheer momentum, HD DVD is the clear choice.”

…need I say more?

They are obviously a lot smarter than you and most of your terrible predictions have been throughout 2007. Well Rob it looks like HD DVD wasn't the clear choice for Time Warner.

Unless they design a low cost HD that has docens of terabytes or something which I dont see anytime soon either...<br /> <br /> Dont wanna sound like those crazy guys that continue blabing about how lp's are way better than cd's but I just dont trust a magnetic erasable component anyway close as I trust an optical disk that is write protected and substancial. I dont think I would like the idea of having my whole DVD colection that has cost me a load of money(a real truckload of money!) to a media that is so susceptible to errors and accidents...<br /> Will I then need to backup thaT?<br /> This is starting to sound to me like so much metting ideas that sound great to bosses there and then end up being a total screw up when implemented(I had quite some at work).<br /> <br /> Movies on Hard disk definetly not my future if there is anyway I can avoid that, but it wouldnt be the first time the worse standar gets implemented thou, like it happened to beta and 2000... <br /> <br /> Anyway just my two cents Excellent info guys…
I would like to add my two cents thou…

how is anyone supposed to store like 20GB for each movie you download at home? you would need a tower of hard disks in no time!
and if you do copy them to optical what's the point for the consumer? companies would only be geting rid of another process that doesnt give revenue (like support that is getting in the hands of customers, I see it continously in Pc games where comunities of users patch the game) that is production, eliminate retailers that are earning a lot of money right now (I dont think those guys would allow that, in my country at least they have unrivaled power toped only by petroleum companies)

and also have in mind that I dont know in the US but in my country a blank BD costs more than an original movie and there is no sign the prices will drop.. for example dual layer blank DVD's are still terribly expensive despite the fact they've been around for some time know.

Forgive me but I dont really see optical disapearing anytime soon. Unless they design a low cost HD that has docens of terabytes or something which I dont see anytime soon either…

Will I then need to backup thaT?
This is starting to sound to me like so much metting ideas that sound great to bosses there and then end up being a total screw up when implemented(I had quite some at work).

Movies on Hard disk definetly not my future if there is anyway I can avoid that, but it wouldnt be the first time the worse standar gets implemented thou, like it happened to beta and 2000…

Anyway just my two cents
