HD-DVD And Blu-Ray Together?

[Ố_ỏ TǿsspǿT ỏ_Ố]

Although the opening salvos have been fired, rumours are flying that the rival camps are in the process of calling a truce. It was reported in digitalbattle.com that Toshiba and Samsung have joined forces to produce a hybrid player that supports both formats. They have even suggested that Sony are also developing a dual format player as insurance against another format-faliure, having already suffered with Betamax.

But according to HD Beat Samsung have denied that they are looking at a dual format player and that they are fully committed to Blu-Ray. Toshiba on the other hand have made no secret of their desire to have a unified format as this engadget piece reveals. Rumours or not it looks as if dual-compatibility is a distinct possibility.

But while the formats are separate the battle persists. It was generally believed that the fight was between Blu Rays higher capacity versus HD-DVD cheaper cost. However home theatre blogger believes that Blu-Ray's claims are a myth and that the format is overpriced. Other factors that may decide supremacy include Blu-Ray's integration with the Playstation 3 and Microsoft's support of HD-DVD. Indeed, as blueyonder have already reported, even the adult industry could have a say in the outcome.

I heard from a guy at a farmer's market.. that you can't play PS3 without a HDTV ...

I don't know if that fits in there much. nobody else is replying =]

I just heard that the HD would just make the 'experience' better. <_<'

I don't think even Sony will release a console that's high in price anyway, and rely on everyone who gets one to go out and by a HDTV So i don't think that's true

Back to the topic now (Which over the last few days, i've completey forgot about this thread ). It wouldn't surprise me if they made one that played all. But it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't either O_____O' Sooo...

To experience the Playstation 3 FULLY, you'll need a High Definition enabled TV.

Anyway, I don't really see the point in combining HD-DVD and Blu-Ray together. Surely, it would be alot dearer, than having them seperate.
