PS3 Blu Ray vs Xbox 360 HD-DVD vs DVD

Sant nok, men HD-klare flateskjermer selger jo som varme boller.. og folk sitter jo der i stua si og ser på NRK sporten fra antenne eller kabel-tv... *grøss*.

Kina er Blu-Ray eksklusivt..

 

The increasingly dirty technology war being fought for dominance of “next generation” DVDs took another twist today when one of China’s largest film distribution groups said it would back Blu-ray, the technology developed by Sony and Philips.

 

China Film Group’s decision comes as the Blu-ray Disc Association – a consortium of more than 170 content and hardware producers – is reeling from the defection of Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks Animation two weeks ago.

 

China Film Group, in addition to producing movies such as Kung Fu Hustle and a range of popular film and TV series for its domestic market, plays a central role in the distribution of foreign films in China, acting as a de-facto regulator.

 

Analysts said that China Film Group's move was evidence that the struggle between Blu-ray discs and the rival format, HD-DVD, would be heavily influenced by the choices of content providers and consumers in Asia. HV-DVD is produced by Toshiba and backed by the likes of Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard.

 

Blu-ray received another fillip yesterday when Acer, one of the world’s big three personal computer brands, said that it too would be adopting Sony’s format. Acer, previously an associate member of the HD-DVD Promotion Group, will build Blu-ray disc players into its laptop and desktop PCs.

 

Many believe that, while the decisions of the major studios will be important in deciding the outcome of the high-definition format war, it may be the PC market that has the final say.

 

Paramount and DreamWorks previously released films on both Blu-ray and HD-DVD discs. Both studios have said that they will now produce content exclusively on HD-DVD, pointing to cost advantages with the Toshiba format.

 

Their decision, which surprised analysts and drew heavy criticism from senior Hollywood insiders, came as Blu-ray appeared to be gaining the upper hand over the Toshiba format in disc sales. Toshiba has denied offering Paramount and DreamWorks any financial inducements to encourage their defection from Blu-ray.

 

Sony’s PlayStation 3 games console, which has sold more than 4 million units worldwide, includes a Blu-ray disc player and is thought to account for the early lead of the Blu-ray format over its rival.

Tror du burde lese kildene dine litt bedre, for det er det langt ifra det som står.

Universal er en av USA's største filmselskap. Vil det si at USA er HD DVD ekslusivt?

 

Uansett, hvor mange i Kina kjøper ikke-bootleg filmer?

I disse landene selger de pirat-filmer på kjøpesenter.

[Knebel]

Vel, det var vel det eneste du hadde å si på den..

 

Nok en kjekk en:

 

"The HD format is about stand-alone players, not game systems. We don’t think gamers will buy movies," said HD DVD Promo Group co-chairman Ken Graffeo.

Syntes han sa mye lurt jeg.

 

Saito said that his company's decision came after a year's worth of evaluation, and was based on the format being the best value not only to consumers, but to Paramount as well, in terms of cost of replication.

 

Other speakers at the comference emphasized the format's "ever growing list of worldwide supporters," its affordability, its lead in stand-alone player sales, and its higher attach rates, (4 discs per player, 7 times that of BD).

 

og som jeg har sagt i evigheter:

 

In a direct dig at the BDA, Graffeo pointed to the HD DVD group's mandatory interactive specs, stating that all HD DVD players are required to support the format's advanced interactive features. "Sadly, that's not the case with Blu-ray," said Graffeo. "Many Blu-ray owners will only get advanced features if they buy the next-generation players".

 

Og gode nyheter for oss:

 

The HD DVD Promo Group's "Five Discs Free" promotion with sales of new HD DVD players will be extended to Europe.

Ser ut til at vi som venter på siste piratutspill fra Depp & Co blir skuffet

 

Blu-ray's Pirates of the Caribbean release has framing issues

 

Dette bør fikses opp i, vil nesten tro dette blir ein slager i det nye HD-formatet. Så å slippe noe med så allvorlige feil som dette blir latterlig.

[HåkonN]

Kom nettopp hjem fra en av verdens største messer relatert til dette. IFA 2007 i Berlin.

 

DVD var nesten fraværende, og enten Blu-Ray eller HD-DVD var å finne overalt der de ville vise frem slike produkter. Fikk se flere prototyper på produkter som skulle komme i nærmeste fremtid. Blant annet Alpine hadde en HD-DVD avspiller (protyp) som skulle komme i 2009......til bilen. LG viste frem PC-drivverk som tok både Blu-Ray og HD-DVD.

 

Skal kanskje til messen i Las Vegas (Januar). Blir spennende å se fremdriften med disse formatene på den andre siden av dammen.

For et latterlig utvalg norske butikker har av HD DVD og Bluray filmer. Var på 4 forskjellige varehus i Trondheim her i dag og tittet i hyllene deres (Elkjøp, Expert, Siba og Lefdal)

 

Kun Elkjøp og Lefdal hadde HD DVD og Bluray filmer, og utvalget var begrenset til ca. 4 forskjellige Bluray filmer og 7-8 forskjellige HD DVD filmer.

Ble voldsomt skuffet over utvalget, da jeg hadde tenkt å handle inn en 4-5 Bluray filmer til min PS3 ankommer over helga. Gikk uansett ut med Rocky Balboa på Bluray i posen da, så helt bortkastet var ikke turen.

Du burde ta deg en tur til Expert Stormarked på Forus, Stavanger (kanskje litt langt å reise, men drit i det ). Der er utvalget meget bra, har ikke sett bedre utvalg i Norge enda. Har nok en rundt 20 BD-titler hvis jeg skal tippe, fører ikke HD-DVD dog fordi avdelingslederen der mener Blu-Ray er det beste å satse på. Utvalget er faktisk så bra til Norge å være at folk sentralt fra Expert tok turen ut for å ta bilde av BD-seksjonen her om dagen.

[Lil-H]

Og hva ligger prisen på da? Det er igrunn det mest skremmende spør du meg. BD-titler som er priset fra 250-300

[Hewitt]

Mellom 200 og 250. Innkjøpsprisene ligger vanligvis på rett over 200,- et sted, så det er umulig for butikker å ha noe lavere pris per dags dato med mindre de ønsker å gå i tap.

Why Blu-Ray Should Never Have Existed: Technology Lesson Learned

 

Now, I know a lot of people still believe Blu-Ray is winning (though that number declined sharply after Paramount and DreamWorks jumped ship), but if you really step back, you’ll realize all it is doing is ensuring HD-DVD doesn’t win either, and the impact of that on the movie industry has to be in the billions.

 

With Blu-Ray, the warning sign was the tie-in to the PlayStation 3, which was the big crutch for the product. I was just as blind to this early on as everyone else, and didn’t realize until too late that rather than the PlayStation assuring the success of Blu-Ray, Blu-Ray assured the failure of the PS3.

 

A product has to hit on three vectors: it has to work to expectations, it has to be something people want, and it has to be affordable. The fact that it wasn’t affordable killed not only Blu-Ray but effectively took out the PS3 in the process. Without the PS3, Blu-Ray couldn’t beat HD-DVD, which had no similar crutch and advanced into the market much more easily (and shipped much earlier).

 

Står mye rart i den artikkelen, men jeg synes han hadde noen gode poeng.

[Knebel]

Elendig propaganda.. :!: Stjerneeksempel på FUD faktisk.. :!:

 

Glimrende kommentarer under vel og merke:

This should have been posted on April 1. You are an embarrassment.

So… who paid you to write this?

Eller litt mer til sakens kjerne:

You should disclose that you’re a paid Toshiba consultant.

Precisely the sort of baseless PR drivel to be expected from a paid consultant from the Toshiba/HD DVD group.

 

EDIT: Ikke dumt å kikke litt på kildene man quoter fra. -Artig fyr han der Rob Enderle forresten.. Han har erklert Apple for død siden 1995. Linux er en svindel og de som snakker varmt linux sammenlignes med terrorister

Klikk for å se/fjerne innholdet nedenfor

Rob Enderle, founder of the Enderle Group, is a consultant, writer, and widely quoted technical and legal analyst in the information technology industry. Microsoft, Advanced Micro Devices, the SCO Group, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Dell are (or have been) among his clients.

 

Enderle has been critical of Apple Computer and Linux, as well as Unix and the open source/free software movements in general. In particular, he has described Linux as a “free-software scam,” and he has compared some Linux advocates to terrorists, predicting that “one of them — or perhaps a group of them — will go too far at some point and do significant damage to the open-source movement, the ongoing litigation with SCO or their employers.” Nevertheless, Enderle was a featured speaker at the Desktop Linux Summit 2006.

 

According to the “Apple Death Knell Counter” at macobserver.com, Enderle has predicted the demise of the Macintosh more times since 1995 than any other industry observer — predictions which (as of 2007) have yet to come to pass. He divorced his wife, Fiona, in 2003. Before founding the Enderle Group, Mr. Enderle was a founding analyst at Giga Information Group (acquired by Forrester Research), Dataquest (acquired by Gartner), IBM, ROLM (acquired by IBM), and The Walt Disney Company.

Skjønner ikke hvordan èn kommentar kan være FUD..

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) is a tactic of rhetoric used in sales, marketing and public relations. FUD is generally a strategic attempt to influence public perception by disseminating negative (and vague) information. An individual firm, for example, might use FUD to invite unfavorable opinions and speculation about a competitor's product; to increase the general estimation of switching costs among current customers; or to maintain leverage over a current business partner who could potentially become a rival.

Ok, så du tror ikke firmaer bruker kommentarfeltene på nettsider til å vri noe til sin fordel? Jeg sier ikke at de kommentarene var det, men ikke tro at det ikke skjer.

Var ikke lenge siden jeg så en review hvor et produkt ble slakta, og under står det "wow, for et fantastisk produkt. Dette har hjulpet meg masse!" (flere kommentarer).

 

Forresten, det var jo du som dro frem noe som står på Wikipedia. Det er jo FUD central.
