Hd movie war. blu-ray continues to pull ahead

Blu-ray is increasing it´s pace and widening the gap between itself and the hd.dvd camp, during Jan 1, 2007 and Jul 1, 2007 blu-ray sold more then twice as many movies as the microsoft empowered hd.dvd format.

Which is just how it should be, blu-ray is a far, far better medium and will provide you with superiour image and sound quality, well, atleast if the one´s producing the movies knows what they are doing, which isnt always the case, regardless of you buying your hd film on blu-ray or hd.dvd, alot of early releases were crappy standard definition releases no better then the dvd release or sometimes even worse.

But that has changed and alot of high quality releases has now made it´s way to blu-ray, the latest one being 300 which sold far, far better on blue-ray then hd.dvd.

Anyway, im sure that you also know that one of the best blu-ray players and weirdly enough by far the cheapest is the playstation 3 unit, so if you dont own one but you enjoy movies and have a hd tv, go out and pick up a playstation 3 right away.

Who knows you might end up playing high quality games on it aswell insted of just watching movies, because if we´re realy honest, virtualy every person out there, do enjoy a good game now and then, they just have to give up to that inner child of theirs :)

But if not, pick up a ps3 anyway and use it as a truly great media center capable of streaming movies and music, playing blu-ray and dvd(it has stellar dvd playback quality aswell) and all your mp3´s, and best of all, it´ll do it wireless.
