The battle rages on! The war between Blu-Ray and HD DVD reminds me of the good ol’ days when people had to choose between VHS and Betamax. I remember going to the video store and having to make sure that the movie you were selecting would actually fit inside your electronic playing device. Well those days have returned! Now shoppers and movie renters must choose between the next generation of home movies. While both formats offer superior picture quality and sound then that of traditional DVD’s, consumers are once again forced to pick a horse and stick with it. If I was a betting man, I’d put my money on Blu-Ray. For starters, Sony’s PS3 comes with a Blu-Ray player, while the Xbox 360 requires an additional attachment. Another aspect benefiting Sony is the price gap. Selling PS3’s cheaper than traditional HD DVD players has helped flood the market with their product, eventually leading to higher sales in movies. If you haven’t done so, start saving up for a Blu-Ray player now and say bye to Betamax…I mean HD DVD.
