    • Microsoft's XBox 3 Could Give It Market Supremacy [view article]
      Read this article from the NYT. Paramount and Universal have finished with their commitments to HD-DVD.

      They will finish publishing a couple more titles in HD-DVD format to finish their contract and that sounds like the end of a hammer hitting the nail in the coffin.

    • Microsoft's XBox 3 Could Give It Market Supremacy [view article]
      As a PS3 fan, I agree with everyone that Microsoft's Xbox360 needs improvements.

      What the author, Bruce, is talking about is the guts of the system; the components built are relatively cheap compared to the innards of a PS3.

      Microsoft is also the king of bringing back a product, newly improved. Who would have thought that Windows would have succeeded with the first launch and all its faults?

      Microsoft actually listens to it's customers and uses that information to improve their products. I don't doubt that a future Xbox 720/1080 will really give Sony a run for their money.

      I think it's going to be a fun gamble to see what Microsoft will do about future games that will need larger disc space. Microsoft has been supporting the Hd-Dvd system but with Blu-ray all but having won the movie market, Hd-Dvd will be dieing out. Will Microsoft start supporting the Blu-ray format by it's competitor Sony?

      The only way for HD-Dvd to last a while longer, at this point, is to become a burning solution for PC users.

      PC users will always need larger discs to hold all the data that they accumulate. With Blu-ray burners available and no Hd-DVD burners yet that I have seen, even this might be a hard battle...
