Oh the death knell

Oh if this is true it’s a BAD move for Sony

Adult movie company says Sony won’t let XXX titles on bluray discs….

edit: I just read that Bluray is going to have transferable content (e.g. movie disc comes with a portable version for ipod, psp, etc.).  That would ameliorate some of this idiocy.  Also, I just read that Sony pulled the same shit with Betamax, and we all know how that worked out for them….. grrrr.

one format to rule them all

Tek Jansen’s Explosive Gaming Experience! : PS3 Blu Ray vs Xbox 360 HD DVD vs DVD

So this guy decides that HD-DVD is better than Bluray.  Of course he’s trying them out via consoles (and as such different output signals).  And he’s viewing them on a 1080p set.  But hey everyone is entitled to an opinion.  This guy certainly makes an argument.  I didn’t try clicking the pics, but I want hi-res comparison shots of a 1080p output.

High Def?

So I just got a 1080p HDTV.  And I got a nice upconverting dvd player for Christmas.  And yet I’m plagued by the thought of a PS3 or an Xbox360 (or xo as i like to call it… get it, x for xbox, o for circle which equals 360 degrees!  I’m so clever idiotic.).  Nevermind my friends who are going crazy over the fact that I got a nice HD set and don’t have an HD movie player.  Listen, it bothers me too.  I LOVE movies.  I’d get a PS3 or xo for HD movies alone, never mind gaming.  (Why not just get a stand alone Bluray or HD-DVD player you ask?  Well I do enjoy gaming as well, so there’s that.).  But it’s a lot of layout for movies of which I’m not positive which format will win out.  There are movies on both that I really love.  Perhaps for Christmas…..
