HD-DVD with a better reputation than BLU-RAY???

The smart folks over at Dark Horizons have published an article discussing the large gap in perception between HD-DVD and BLU-RAY.

Here's a snip:

Quote:
The battle over the next generation DVD format threw another interesting punch this week with independent market analytics firm Cymfony releasing figures from an extensive study showing that Blu-ray lagged far behind HD DVD in positive opinion.

According to Yahoo, the report distinctly cites that unlike many studies in this field, this one was not sponsored by any manufacturer or other organization affiliated with either of the formats.
See the whole article HERE:

I'm not really surprised by any of this. From the begining, BLU-RAY has always felt so 'forced' to me, and HD-DVD has always felt so 'natural.' I'm willing to bet that whatever format actually wins, the common term that will be used to describe the discs will be 'HD-DVD.' Just like XEROX is used as a term to reference making a paper copy - or KLEENEX is the term used to refer to a tissue (regardless of the actual brand involved...)
