Consumer Reports Show Blu-Ray and HD DVD Neck and Neck

Hd-BluAn interesting little piece over at IMDB regarding consumer ratings of competing Blu-Ray and HD DVD players:

Not even the venerable Consumer Reports can decide between the rival Blu-ray and HD DVD high-definition video formats. The consumer-product testing publication has ranked Pioneer’s DBP-94HD Blu-ray player and Toshiba’s HD-XA2 HD DVD player both at No. 1, with an overall score of 91 percent. The publication evaluated nine high-definition players. The magazine commented that all of the players tested provided excellent picture quality. It indicated, however, that the HD DVD players have the advantage of lower price.

I find the whole HD Civil War thing pretty interesting, although I’m quite happy to stay as an observer watching from the sideline. I still don’t own an HD system, nor do I have any plans to get one in the near future. For a little more on that, see another post I wrote called:

Why The HD Format War Sucks

Until that beautiful day of 1 standard HD format for all… I’m quite happy with my DVDs.
