I just have more reasons to believe Blu-ray will be around after HD DVD goes away.Why do you say the PS3 doesn't count? I see it as a Blu-ray player that also plays games, rather than a game machine that also plays movies. The PS3 is going to get better and better as Sony makes changes and updates to the system/firmware. It has the potential to become a better Blu-ray player than a stand-alone player because of the technology that Sony put inside that case.
Universal will cave in due time. Next to FOX, it's my next favorite studio so I am disappointed that they don't support Blu-ray at this time. As far as Warner Bros, I don't really care for them. They are supporting Blu-ray, but holding back quality because HD DVD is limited compared to Blu-ray. Their belief that audio quality is not important really pisses me off, so they fail as a worthwhile studio for me to consider.
Follow Ups:
I think the PS3 advantage is a bit overstated. First, xbox 360's are flying off the shelf as Sony can't get their act together and ship a glitch free product on a timely basis. That means xbox is making signifigant inroads in market share. Not to mention the xbox is cheaper out the door for consumers.Second, Xbox has an HD-DVD player that is very affordable (I think 199 with a remote) that allows users to output full 1080p. Sony still can't get their resolutions straight and have made many a ps3 useless after their most recent update fiasco.
I'm not saying HD-DVD will win- heck if I know who will- but after reading your previous post re: the advantages of blu-ray and the studio support, you've certainly made a convincing argument. Just pruning your Ps3 point.
