While not an all out kick to the curb, Hewlett-Packard has decided to set aside its Blu-ray exclusive status and embrace the HD-DVD format as well. The battle continues with Intel and Microsoft being strong supporters of HD-DVD and Sony and the gang supporting Blu-ray:

"This integration will reduce development costs and provide a more affordable solution for consumers," HP said. "In addition, HD-DVD provides a rich, cost-competitive solution for the consumer and is easier to manufacture." Entertainment industry executives are eager to avoid a repeat of the VHS-Betamax format wars of the 1980s, which created a divided market for video recorders and hit the profits of companies that invested in the vanquished Betamax format.

Looks like they will continue to support the format but thats about it. Hopefully it doesnt affect Sony too much. I believe the PS3 supports Blue Ray and HD-DVD? Is that true?

Well I honestly didn't see that coming. I dont think it would cause too many problem with Sony. HP is still supporting it, jut not developing it any further it looks like. This will probably have minimal effects if anything at all. And no the PS3 does not support HD-DVD. Well at least not yet!

If HP is dropping Blue Ray, does that mean its popularity will decreace? Are other companies going to think twice before developing any products that support the media?

I wonder if that will effect the use of Blue Ray disks for other aspects like Movies or other media types.

i like blu-rays cds imagine how long the games are going to be

yah the games will be hella long

theyre going to work a lot of years 2 use all the capacity of the blu-ray discs
