  1. Comment - New Chinese Involvement Could Trigger HD DVD Price Plunge

    (Sep 8, 2007 - 2:23 AM)

    @Hocuspokus Dude are you dense? Stupid? Ignorant? or all three! Didn't you notice who is on that list of companies on the AVS group? Duh...NO! Do you even know how this equipment works? They are talking about a totally different format and a CH-DVD player will not play HD-DVDs, fool.

    They're thinking it reduces cost for them only because of the similarity of manufacturing. How many Chinese can we expect to afford these players let alone the HDTV to use them on? This is just Sony and IBM and company preparing for the future. The codec will play on BluRay with adjustments just as on HD-DVD! Believe me! ....or you would NOT have these companies on the AVS board.

    These machines and the format are meant for China ONLY. The blue diode is the same blue diode in all three machines. The companies producing them for BluRay have cut the cost of chip production recently to less than $8 each.

    Because even if somebody doesn't use the PS3 BD Player, they are still subsidizing player's and chip cost. Plus 'FATHEAD', just because every single PS3 game that's sold, reduces BD disc production cost no matter if it's a movie or a GAME!

    So if you put all the BD discs, both Games and Movies being sold together, it's all reducing the cost of all BD discs at a faster rate than movies alone on HD-DVD. Costs for BluRay Movies and Game Discs is plummeting through the floor. The more you make yourself, the cheaper they are.

    It's been reported that by year's end, it will be cheaper to make a BluRay Scratch Resistant Coated Disc than an HD-DVD movie disc. Then on Blue Diode chip side, they are already cheaper in costs than the ones going into HD-DVD players. Plus the most expensive part of the BluRay Players is the Lens Assembly. Well that is coming down too, with such high numbers! So that by years end, it's predicted that the cost of production will be on par between both of BD and HD-DVD.

    HD-DVD will no longer have the price edge and BluRay with stand alone players and PS3 players will rule, because for every one of these machines sold you reduce the cost faster than HD-DVD players alone.

    With every Game and Movie sold, you reduce the cost of production of the BD Discs with the far greater numbers sold!

    So what does the HD-DVD side do? PANIC and blow a wad of $dough$ at a couple film makers in a last ditch effort to buy allegiance in a timed exclusivety. What do you think Sony is going to do? Stop making BluRay PS3's? NOT!

    BluRay is not going anywhere, but into your future whether you like it or not. The only format that could die is HD-DVD. Then through this CH-DVD Group that consist of China and those very interesting and notable members: the China branch of ATI, IBM, Intel, LG, Matsus***a, NEC, Nokia, Philips, STMicroelectronics, TI, Tektronix, and of all the amazing ironies of this story... Sony... Who do you think is going to control all the high definition formats? Fool! ;)

    Are they trying to be funny? Computer Manufacturer Support? mwhaaa..ha...ha... Dell = BluRay, HP = BluRay, Sony = New Vaio HDTV/Computer w/BluRay, Apple = BluRay, Sony Playstation = BluRay, ...need I say more? Sounds like a lot of Wishing! They are DEAD! Caput! Zero! Zilch! Down the Tubes by middle of next year!

    HD-DVD Claims 'Undeniable Momemtum'? ... yes, but in what direction? hehe ;)

    PS3 is the Best Movie Player for the Money, ABSOLUTELY!

  3. Comment - Open XML Still Likely to Be Certified

    (Aug 21, 2007 - 4:10 PM)

    Does one of the letters, "O" stand for Oxymoron? Does anyone besides the DOD understand that anything Microsoft does is in self interest and preserving the status quo largest "MONOPOLY" in the World. That even lost in court, but is still allowed to exist, bully and control an entire segment of society?

    That the Word "OPEN" to them is as incongruous and contradictory in nature as Sweat from a HOG(hogs don't sweat, stupid)! Neither can anything M$ does, be considered even microscopically close to "OPEN". Like a light switch, it's either on or off, open or closed, proprietary or non-proprietary!

    xridling states it correctly!
    ODF or MS-OOXML? Why not just for once, Force M$ to conform to a standard that anyone can use including them if they so choose. Give into specialized interests and all we're doing is promoting their brand of Oligopolistic control. NOT centered on Society as a WHOLE!

    Here we see how the ignorance of the masses keeps the very in power over the entire World!
