Blu-Ray dead: WalMart throws it's support behind the HD-DVD with cut-price version

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! PS3tards must be cacking themselves right now.
Wal-Mart is to sell a discounted HD-DVD player, for under $300. THis
will DECIMATE the Blu-Ray market, and force PS3tards to admit it was a
massive mistake to force the format wars onto the console gamers with
their over-priced format.

DVD didn't really take off until standalone players went sub-$300 -
and once this hits the shelves, expect to see Blu-Ray movie sales fall
further and further behind HD-DVD.

The HD market is too small right now, and if a handful of movie
enthusasts on AV Forums can sway the overall marketshare of HD-DVD by
a single days sales, then it proves that Blu-Ray hardly registers int
he grand market scheme of things.
The difference now is that HD-DVD is the first to hit mainstream
pricing. You will see HD-DVDs selling not in the tens of thousands but
the millions - and as this happens, Sony will find their fledgling
format sidelined and pushed into the niche. Much like the UMD format
really.

Sure, more manufacturers support Blu-Ray, but with a flood of cheap
Chinese machines supporting HD-DVD looming, that will equate to 0
advantage.

Furthermore, as HD-DVD blows up in Blu-Ray's face, movie studios will
be quick to support the new format too.

Fox have already cancelled a lot of their movies on Blu-Ray.

Without Blu-Ray selling bucketloads to consumers, Sony's plans to cost-
reduce the PS3 over time will blow up in their face, as they won't be
able to reach the economies of scale that HD-DVD will be. Meanwhile,
Microsoft will eventually put HD-DVD in every 360 at no additional
cost, and suddenly any advantage (real or otherwise) the PS3 had will
evaporate.

Goodbye Blu-Ray, hello HD-DVD.

I really could care less about the format wars because it will be a good
year or two until I finally break down and buy a HD-TV. But like your PS3
counterpart, Bligmerk you never give the full story. So lets look at the key
paragraph.

"While $299 would be cheap now, we reckon the price could actually end up
being a lot less. These Fuh Yuan-built players probably won't go on sale
until next March, by which time the likes of Toshiba will probably be
charging less for their own decks. Our prediction: $200 for the Wal-Mart
players."

These won't be out for another 11 months. Therefore, it is not going to kill
off Blu-Ray this year.

You ****ing Xbox fanboys are trying so hard to counter Bligmerk, a worthless
troll who barely posts and hasn't been relevant for years, you haven't
realized you have become far worse than him. Being so consumed by a troll,
that you turn into one is far more pathetic than being a troll in the first
place.

If it wasn't for America the Xbox 360 wouldn't be in the lead so show some
respect. Also many of the movies, books, games, and tv shows you likely
enjoy are American made as well. I'm Canadian but you never see me bashing
America because I know that despite a few idiots down there the majority are
good decent people who would do a lot for a person. Also it's shameful for
people to forget a country that saved their country's ass during it's
greatest time of need.

Fox sent me a survey asking me my opinions on Van Wilder 2 and if I
hadn't bought it why didn't I?

Two of the choices were "I am waiting for the HD-DVD version." and "I
am waiting for the Blu-Ray version."

The other choices were the obvious ones, not my kind of movie, I heard
it sucks, etc. Naturally I told them that I heard it sucks and I'm
waiting for the HD-DVD. :^)

Were it not for the old-skool Pilgrim Fathers you lot would still be
running about throwing axes at people (the enemy, mostly).

In fairness to Blu--Ray there is some confusion about this story:

http://zhouzishuo.bb.engadgethd.com/...er-on-the-way/

Update: Pull back the reigns HD DVD fanboys, Akihabara now says that
they've made a "huge mistake" with their translation: the original
source called it "藍光HD-DVD and 藍光 means Blu-RAY." In other words, Blu-
ray HD DVD. Huh? Word to the wise: since both formats use blue lasers,
it's best to wait for an English press release before either camp
celebrates.

Pioneer is also planning on a $300 Blu-Ray PC drive:

It's a pleasure.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
