In Reply to: But is Blu-Ray the new UMD? posted by 4season on May 5, 2007 at 12:25:07:
Again, HD-DVD is currently cheaper, but the higher storage capacity with Blu-Ray could make Blu-Ray a keeper.There's a whiff of a hope that Blu-Ray offers a more robust (?) DRM scheme than HD-DVD and probably explains why Blu-Ray has most of the studio support currently. OTOH, I'm skeptical any DRM scheme is going to survive the hackers.
I vaguely recall reading the lack of "cheap" blu-ray players is the lack of cheap Blu-Ray ROM drives. This is alleged to be about to change this summer.
Follow Ups:
My 9-5 job involves IT matters, and I've thought of BD-R as a possible backup medium, but at the moment, it's not looking super compelling because I don't really know how archival it will be, and hard disk storage is super cheap.Both Blu-Ray and HD DVD use AACS encryption, and at the rate things are going, that will be fully and irrevocably cracked pretty soon, and that's fine with me, because I want to be able to watch those movies on my existing computer and elsewhere.
