ok, just to let you all know, that while blu ray can hold a TON of information on it, it is the crapiest cd possible. I work in the electronics store selling music, movies, games, camaras and the like. We sell both blue ray and hddvd, i dont see how it is possible that hddvd is losing like someone said earlier. The only problem with it is there arent to many hddvd players out yet while everyone who has a ps3 is getting blue ray. And now, why i hate blue ray, we get constant returns because one, people are retarded, and two this is why: They have burned the information on to the disc on top of the clear stuff thats normally covering the information. Normally on any other dvd or cd the structure is this:
top/cover with somesort of silver stuff under it which connects with the next step
information
clear covering to protect information
that is why you can use skip fixers to clean your cds, they fill in the scratches on the clear layer so it can read through it again. Now, the structure of a blue ray:
top/cover
clear covering
information
Basically, if you scratch a blue ray disc its fubar'd. You scratch the bottom, you litaraly rip off information. I assume they did it this way to do multi layer and quick reading but its terrible. We get more blue ray returns than any other type of cd or dvd combined. I understand that its an easy fix, you just take better care of your games. But i know that i sometimes get a stack of games on top of my 360 because i get lazy one day when im playing. I dont think there is any of the plastic layer left on my halo 2 disc and it still plays fine, almost.
Mostly what i got from the article is graphics wise this: The ps3 can have more stuff going on at any one time, but the 360 will have better all around graphics. And im through.
