Blu Ray is done
February 7th, 2007
Done deal. There was a war between HD DVD and Sony’s Blu-Ray. I hate Sony’s proprietary technologies, including Memory Stick. I would never buy a Sony digicam just because they keep everything proprietary. It’s like Apple.
There is good news, though.
First, the Blu-Ray DRM has been cracked. That was quick. HD-DVD was cracked earlier and the extra piece of protection on Blu-Ray was cracked a short time later. Thank goodness. DRM is all doomed to failure at the end of the day. Why even try?
Second, but definitely not least, the pr0n industry has decided to go with HD-DVD because it is easier and cheaper to produce.
So if you’re thinking about the future and want to pick one technology, HD-DVD is the way to go. Although, the future is probably going to bring us combo drives that allow either format.
