What about the money it will cost people to change all there gear! We put $30,000.00 in thx certified equipment if they change the format and put everything on memory stick it would be not feesible to people because they would have to change everything over again in ther equipment just so they could play that format and what about decoding you would have to have a recever that could decode it. You could not use your exesting equipment so you would have to go buy new equipment god know how much that will cost!

Companies like Net insight and cisco brings the future in to your livingroome as soon as your ISP’s actually uppgrade and provide all that bandwidth.
I think Verizone might be there very soon!

Thanx.

I knew the first article was FUD taken out of context. Now the HD-DVD (now download) fanboy is backpedaling! LOL

Pry yourself from HD-DVD’s cold, DEAD hands and go Blu.

Ok, we are living in the future, optical media is so 90’s, why still live in that era? Why not use cool technology as flash media, or a USB media? They save space and could come in a nice cases like the Nintendo DS? If going the USB route, then dl a move, watch it and if you like keep it, or dump it for another.

DLC would be great if our ISP’s would actually provide all that bandwidth, but thats far off!

I hope you guys just have bad humor …
HD DLC is pure crap, as you’ll need “stable” hyper speed connexion to download a 50Gb (or more in the future) movie in an acceptable (2 hours?) time. And that will only make pirates smile as we all know everyone will prefer getting a movie for free rather than buy one. And Microsoft will still be there to sell under developed products “Hey we give you a 1080z new technology (truly a 720p with lower than DVD bitrate) you can download very fast (they know it will take 100 hours)”.
People just have to take a little time to see where real quality is and that’s Blu-ray and physical media … Hell even those pirates burn their movie to play it in their DVD player!!!

I’d rather have optical with fair use right to transfer to portable flash based device.

“I am 100% for the digital movie downloads,” I said shoving my HD-DVD player under the bed.
