I read that Blu-Ray isn't supporting the porn industry. So I guess that means HD-DVD will win.

But if Blu-Ray does win, what will happen with the next-in-line-gen systems? Microsoft & Nintendo will have to ask for permission from their competitor to use their type of DVD, which they probably won't.

Micro$oft would just make their own blu-ray player.

But when you think about it, eventually we will use blue lasers to encode our information.

It's more like a royalty fee. it's what the PS2 and Xbox did last gen. They had to pay royalty fees. The PS3 and Xbox 360 also do it. Which is a reason why Nintendo usually goes with a propietary media format. Avoid those fees and decrease piracy of their games.

The really interesting tidbit about that is...Nintendo games have been a hella lot easier to grab and find than other platforms. Maybe in a few more years when comps are able to emulate ps2 and xbox games decently it'll be a different story, but you can find like every n64 rom, while it's a lot harder (and more time-consuming) locating psx isos.


I forgot that Zophar's Domain is back up, but still, the download speeds there suck.


EDIT: But I win brownie points for calling out the demise of HDDVD vs Blu-ray.

I meant more time-consuming by downloading the isos.

And trust me, it's still hella easier finding n64 roms than psx isos.

What I meant when I say that is by burning games. it's a bigger pain in the ass to play burned GC/Wii games than it is to play burned PS1/PS2/PS3/XBOX/X360 games
