Analysis: Looks like Blu-ray Finally Have Won the High Def War

Authored by Jay Baage on January 8, 2008 - 10:05am.

CES 2008: It looks like this year’s Consumer Electronics Show might be remembered for Sony’s (NYSE: SNE) Blu-ray disc winning the high def disc format war.

If DMW’s poll last week is any indication, the high def DVD format war is far from over. DMW’s readers are clearly split between HDDVD, Blu-ray and disc-less Internet distribution as the way of the future.
