Retailers publish their Wish List for Next Gen High Definition DVDs
Retailers publish their Wish List for Next Gen High Definition DVDs
Retailers are so concerned with this HD DVD vs Blu-Ray brouhaha that they have published a wish list of what they want in next gen formats.
It's an interesting read on the retailers' perspective.
On the one hand, they want everything clearly labelled and differentiated from standard DVDs, in packaging of similar dimensions, in a scratch/stain resisistant disc, that is the same size as a CD or DVD. Image quality should equal or exceed high def cable/sattelite image quality.
On the other, they want robust copy protection, sturdy discs to to bypass the loophole of "I needed a backup in case it's damaged", and have upgradable security - things not necessarily in consumers' best interests.

Comments:
yeah - I'd be just fine having a media server of some sort that I could pull ALL of my media into and play back from, and download/load from disc any media that comes across my desk.
Here's a thought - will the HD DVD vs Blu Ray lead to the kind of market differentiation that we have in game consoles, with some titles on XBox and some on PS2, and only some on both? Sony titles obviously are strictly PS2 most of the time, etc.
It would suck if that became the case, and you picked one or the other.
Fortunately, we don't have that kind of precedent established in the marketplace for movie watching, and I hope we never get one.
