Re: Blu-ray and HD-DVD Join Forces
very interesting...but what kind of hardware would be able to read this format? does it even exist yet?

Re: Blu-ray and HD-DVD Join Forces
I actually made a massive argument on this format war in my History and Theory of Technology course. It got me a really good mark.
I am relieved they have merged. Very relieved. |
Re: Blu-ray and HD-DVD Join Forces
Sounds interesting...
One question... Why is it in the GC channel? |

This sounds like its good all around. This way nobody will get screwed by going with the wrong format.

Re: Blu-ray and HD-DVD Join Forces
I still don't understand why it's in the Gamecube channel..
And Sony is not doomed because of this. They won't have to drop any type if they can work in having 2 lasers in the drive. 1 for reading HD-DVD (for PS2 backwards capability) and one for Blu-Ray, then if they go for this new medium, they can find a way to have the HD-DVD laser read the disc structure and the Blu-Ray laser read the layering software technology. Or vice versa, whatever the agreement would be. |
Re: Blu-ray and HD-DVD Join Forces
I think they should just figure out a standard for this generation and stick with it, not use 2 lasers which would increase cost and just be a waste once a format is actually chosen.

But I believe it was HD-DVD and NEC that developed a laser that can read red and blue-laser discs. |
