1. Comment - HD DVD Appears to Have Early Edge

   (Oct 12, 2006 - 11:22 PM)

   I live in Europe (Norway) and will buy an xbox hd-dvd for my sku come this november.
   
   I am not going to spend a lot of money buying 2-gen dvd other than the $200 xbox hd-dvd. Using a lot of money; e.g. get blu-ray (more expensive) is just crazy when you can get hd-dvd for much less.
   
   In a few years from now when we have a clear winner, then I think it would be safe to spend a little more getting a more advanced 2-gen dvd with recording etc.
   
   I think hd-dvd will winn because of the lower price and uncertainty about Sony (ps3). I think most people in Europe will listen to the experts saying: Don't be a first adopter, wait a year or two or get a low-priced hd-dvd (if ps3 had been for sale in Europe then blu-ray could have been a choice)
   
   Blu-ray clearly has a larger storage capability and a little better spec, but who cares when you have to spend about twice as much? I don't agree that the difference of spec and storage justify double price!!!
   
   My bet is that HD-DVD will win big time!!!
