In Reply to: Using statistics to make bad assumptions posted by racerguy on July 1, 2007 at 19:59:13:
and tried to apply those statistics to the new PS3, even though older game consoles don't even play DVDs and therefore can't be used for movies. One of the big draws of the PS3 was its blu-ray capability. Papa gets to watch Unforgiven in its HDTV glory and Junior gets to run around the UK shooting chimera in Resistance Fall of Man. That's not wishful thinking. It happens to be the only way families are justifying the expense of the unit.
I agree that applying statistics in ignorant ways is annoying. But the fact is that blu-ray is outselling HD-DVD and has more support at the big studios and manufacturers. There are specifications and applications of blu-ray that make it clearly superior to HD-DVD. Just the fact that it can accomodate more data ought to make anyone concerned with quality instantly favor blu-ray, and so thank goodness you see more "BD fanboys" circling around here. This is, after all, an asylum where people are interested in spending their money on items of superior quality.
