Blu Ray HD DVD With The Best Features
By Nikos L Maxwell
Blu Ray HD DVD offers us the finer picture details,
more vivid color and superior encoding. Additionally,
you can count on Surround Sound 7.0, rather than 5.0,
and more interactive menu features.
Since Sony’s Blu Ray format won the war against its
slightly inferior rival Toshiba/Microsoft’s HD DVDs,
and all the giant movie studios have agreed to release
all new films in Blu Ray media format, consumers are
left with little choice other than to upgrade and move
on. However, there are other advantages to this new
technology, besides quality. You may actually learn
a thing or two!
Play Station 3 Uses Blu Ray Disc HD DVD Technology
Currently, the cheapest way to buy a Blu Ray HD DVD
player is to shell out the $399 for a PlayStation3,
which comes already equipped with the technology. Chances
are, you may only use the machine to play your high-definition
Blu Ray discs.
However, you may also decide to purchase a video game
"for the heck of it" and find a fun, new hobby!
Here are some of the top-selling titles to start your
collection: Resistance - Fall Of Man, Madden NFL, Call
of Duty 3, Marvel - Ultimate Alliance, Need For Speed,
NBA 2K7, Untold Legends-Dark Kingdom and Tony Hawk’s
Project 8.
LCD TV With A Blu Ray HD DVD Combination
Since the best coding, surround sound and picture is
now available with Blu Ray HD DVD technology, many consumers
who held off buying HD Television Sets have finally
buckled. To sweeten the deal, this month Sony has announced
that they’ll be selling an LCD TV that comes with a
Blu Ray HD DVD player inside!
Unfortunately, they haven’t set a time table on this
new combo, so the consumers, whose tax rebate checks
are burning a hole in their pocket, will have to settle
for what’s available. To get you started, you don’t
have to spend thousands.
For instance, you may want to look at Circuit City’s
Samsung 30" Widescreen CRT for $899 or Panasonic
Widescreen CRT for $599. Best Buy has a high definition
Magnovox 30" 1080-pixel-resolution for just $499
as well.
More Features With Blu Ray HD DVD
Despite all the exciting innovations on the horizon,
some critics remain adamant that Blu Ray HD DVD will
just be a short-lived stepping stone on the way to digital
downloads. "Disney movies can already be downloaded
via Apple iTunes, cable companies offer videos on demand,
and consumers can record shows and movies in high definition
on their HD-compatible DVD recorders," explains
Pai-Ling Yin, assistant professor of strategy at
M.I.T.
He says that if anything, this innovation will only
serve as a tutor to those people who may be interested
in downloading but aren’t quite into the groove yet.
Blu Ray discs will offer downloadable features to load
directly onto the discs via the internet. Yin adds,
"Why bother investing in a player when it may soon
be obsolete?"
