I hate to open old wounds, but when will we see Blu-Ray fizzle. Those supporting Blu-Ray would like the opposition to Blu-Ray to just give up, so they can have all the movies in Blu-Ray. I for one wouldn't even consider trading my HD DVD for a Blu-Ray and will never purchase a Blu-Ray disc I'm sure I'm not alone in this opinion. The comparisons of the HD DVD and Blu-Ray showed the possibility's of HD DVD superior to Blu-Ray. The only way Blu-Ray was able to end the DVD war and come out on top was to buy out the rights to HD DVD and immediately pull it from the market. Currently Blu-Ray is making changes to their products in attempts to match the quality and versatility of HD DVD. At the time the DVD wars were ended there were other electronic manufacturers R&D teams working on a promising alternative to Blu-Ray. The quality is equal to HD DVD and the manufacturing costs are lower than Blu-Ray. It will also upconvert a consumers current DVD collection to a standard acceptable to the consumer, which will allow old DVDs kept and used in ones collection. Blu-Ray has yet to capture the heart or market share of the consumer. I believe George Lucas is one of many who think there is going to be a better option for the consumer. The genius that he is will wait for the release before moving forward. If Blu-Ray has captured the hearts and budgets of the consumers and Hollywood why are the movie choices so limited? Maybe they're waiting for the alternative as well? I wouldn't hold my breath for Star Wars on Blu-Ray. HTNut, You're invited to come watch Star Wars in my HT room on my HD DVD player upconverted to 1080i. This is just my humble opinion. Just to show the debate is not dead I have included links to other options currently in the works.
