HD DVD vs Blu-ray

Rupert Murdoch is a pretty powerful man and when it comes to the media, he attracts them in everyway.

Now in front of a group of Goldman Sachs Wall Street business people, Rupert Murdoch has voiced strong endorsements towards the Blu-ray format.

Murdoch has been reported to say “Paramount switched out the other day. God knows why” and that he knew Paramount received a $100 million payout.

Rupert Murdoch and Robert Iger (Disney President and CEO) both back Blu-ray and have been heard stating “it’s a foregone conclusion about which will win”.

Who do you think will win, HD DVD or Blu-ray?

    With all the support to Blu Ray from the industry it seems like they’re all conspiring against toshiba. And now Sharp and Pioneer are joining forces for Blu Ray. I wonder who toshiba will pay next to be on thier side.

    You know blu ray haters say “yeah sony this sony that sony payed them, sony and their propietary formats this and that and vhs vs betamax all over it” whatever. they never acknowledge that panasonic has more patentns over sony and they always say in articles and everything…’sony’s blu ray’ as if sony is purely responsible for it. im sick of it. if sony or panasonic or sharp wants to sell us blu ray then theyr bad but if toshiba and those few other companies are trying to sell us hd dvd then their good… christ!
