What Is the difference between Blu-Ray and HD DVD?
Filed Under (dvd players) by admin on 06-03-2010
I just got a PS3 and I do NOT have an HDTV, so if I bought a Blu-Ray/HD DVD, would it still sound like an HD DVD without and HDTV? Plus, what is the difference between Blu-Ray and HD DVD? Thanks!
If you do not have a HD TV then there will be no difference between a normal dvd and a HD/Blu Ray dvd. You need a HDTV to see the difference in quality , And i have to say a HDTV with a PS3 makes one hell of a difference , everything is much clearer and brighter and colourfull , and thats at 720p.
The main difference between HDDVD and Blu-Ray would be the fact that HDDVDs store up to 30gbs and Blu-Ray stores up to 50gb and can be used for games aswell , They are also created by different companys , Toshiba and Hitachi created HD DVD , Sony and Philips created Blu-Ray , Different film companys are support the different formats with only 1 or 2 supporting them both which means the range of films that appear on Blu-Ray will vary to the range of Films that appear on HD DVD , Blu-Ray would probably have more of a choice of films since more film companys are supporting it.
