577045 2007-08-06 06:25:00 What is latest in Blue Ray HDD race.?
I have heard it said that BR may be the winner,but not much evidence of that round here.

577046 2007-08-06 06:40:00 Neither has really sold enough to be able to say they are winning the race for regular consumers, but my bet would be that BluRay will prevail. I'd say that you will probably get a pretty good idea of the dominant standard after this year's Christmas sales. maccrazy (6741)

I'm not jumping in until the players are something like NZ$400. I'll let the rich folks fite it out..

577052 2007-08-06 22:56:00 Not my own thoughts, but have heard a few journalists saying the whole BR/HDDVD is only a stepping stone before the next technology(probably solid state) and that normal dvd will have had a longer life then the BR/HDDVD formats.
Sounds almost logical

577053 2007-08-07 00:26:00 At a recent Technology fair I was told by the Imation Rep on the stand there that the outcome of which format prevails will be dictated by the Porn Industry as it was in the VHS/Beta race many years ago.

Since Imation sell both medias they don't really care but at this stage he told me they are not selling many of either.
