When a film maker Warner Bros. ALIBATA has declared that it is their entire weight on the format by Sony to store films in high resolution, Blu-Ray, Sony conditions, some corks popped. Frames rival Toshiba said that they sad. “We have been declared dead before,” Vice-President of Toshiba Jodi Sally said to journalists. It matters not be considered.

But Sony (nyse: END - news - persons) can not afford too much time to drink champagne. The new real ALIBATA not mean that the HD-DVD’s future looks bleak. It is that if the Blu-Ray funds can quickly start HD-DVD, Blu-Ray.

With Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL - news - people), Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN - news - people), NetFlix and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT - news - people) is pressing, films, cable network operators and the telephone - to the pedals occur request a wealth of high-definition content, the day will come when the batteries plain vanilla DVD also numerous centres of the entertainment at home, the road from the CD collection.

JVC even a flat-screen TV ALIBATA in the International Consumer Electronics Show, which allows users to simply pop in one of Apple iPods for the display of video content - threatening to turn the thin multimedia player in an alternative to digital video CDs. Panasonic and iPod docks built in the Home Cinema next to a Blu-Ray player.

Another concern, according to Robin Harris, analyst of Data Mobility Group, is that the Blu-Ray adoption will be slower, because some people say, the difference between the formats, as many players can be very good, “up-conversion” for the HD DVD sets. For that reason, some decide to replace them, in their entire DVD libraries, like many associated with the previous generation of video tapes. “Then it will be a pyrrhic victory for Sony, I think there’s a good chance it will,” says Harris.

Blu-Ray has come to the victory at a high price. Sony ALIBATA delayed the launch of the PlayStation 3, that he is pricey the Blu-ray technology in its console. In particular, due to the PlayStation 3 has been delayed on the Nintendo (other-otc: NTDOY - news - people) Wii and Xbox 360 from Microsoft in the sale - though the analysts at Credit PlayStation 3 with Blu - Ray gives an advantage to the HD — DVD.

This is important alibata, Highland émoussante HD-DVD’s advantage. HD-DVD players may have to as little as $ 99 and HD-DVD cheaper to produce. However, the Blu-Ray players start at $ 350.

This means that the analysts say the chances of a return for the HD-DVD are thin. Harris ALIBATA points to go Blockbuster (nyse: BBI - news - people), to its Blu-ray offerings in the last year, like a key. And Warner’s move signals the studios tired of the competition between the manufacturers of electronics one against the other. “Hollywood is now with this argument,” says Harris. “They worry that the film - and they do not want the consumers in relation High Definition hesitantly.”
