The successor in the next-generation format war that will replace current DVD technology looks to be Blu-Ray. Many of the big movie studios such as Warner Bros, Paramount, and Universal, have already said that they will only be putting out the standard DVD and Blu-Ray versions of their movies, not HD-DVD.
What does this mean for you? It means that if you own an Xbox 360 or a HD-DVD player you might not be able to purchase some of your favorite movie titles when they become available. As a result many retailers and manufacturers are dropping the price of HD-DVD players in order to to cash in while they can.
Current HD-DVD technology offers about 30 GB of storage on a disk, whereas Blu-ray offers around 50 GB, allowing for more storage of high definition content.
Although the format war is not over, Blu-Ray definitely has the support it needs in order to become the victor and HD-DVD is starting to look like it will have the same fate as BetaMax.
