Blu-ray wins over HD-DVD!



Interesting press release from Warner Brothers studio last week. They were one of the big guys to support HD-DVD and Blue-ray formats. Seems during 08 they will stop HD-DVD and only produced high-def material for distribution using Blue-Ray only! (DVD remains in play for a wee while!)


Why so interesting? 20% of DVD sales in the US of A belong to Warner!


Major victory for the Blue-Ray camp.


I've also seen UK disc retail figures just for November. Blue-ray were outselling HD-DVD discs by a significant factor. Be interesting to see what Decembers figures are like.


So the PS3 is starting to look like a good play (US PS3 console sales show they shipped 1.2M consoles over Christmas period. Looks like Sony are getting back in the race!)


(the image? could only find dull images of blue-ray stuff so this looked fun!)
