Mr. Indepe
Who do you think will win this "war"?
Answer
Go for Blu Ray. The answer came out a few days ago when Warner Brothers decided that it would go the way of Blu Ray. Warner Brothers sells more DVD movies than any other entertainment label......if the elephant wants to go Blu Ray, then the rest of the industry will have to follow.
Check out the source below for the convincer of the other names alligning with Blu Ray.
--edited-- I don't know which bozo has been voting thumbs-down for many of the Blu-Ray responses...but they should read the valid reasons as to why Blu-ray is winning and will win. Warner Bros (the biggest DVD seller) recently chose Blu-Ray...coupled with the fact that Sony's coup with the PS3 helped convince a lot of gamers to go Blu-Ray as well....it was like a foot in the door. Considering Sony lost the Beta/VHS war....this time around they got a little more smart about it. :) But definitely, having Warner Brothers on board is the convincer of which direction the technology will go.
Good day,
J

If I buy a Blu-Ray home theater system, do I need to buy a receiver?
Sai Pathur
I want to purchase a Blu-ray 5.1 home theater system. If i buy one of these, do i need to buy a receiver? Can I use my other devices such as a ps3, or antenna with it? Do I somehow connect my other devices with a HDMI cable or something, or use a special cable to take advantage of the surround sound.
The system I'm looking at is this one, http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11653116&search=home+theater&Mo=1&cm_re=1_en-_-Top_Left_Nav-_-Top_search&lang=en-US&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&Sp=S&N=5000043%204294967156&whse=BC&Dx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntk=Text_Search&Dr=P_CatalogName:BC&Ne=5000001+4000000&D=home+theater&Ntt=home+theater&No=0&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Nty=1&topnav=&s=1 . Can you give me some deatils about this?
Answer
Most of the Blu-Ray Home Theater systems include a BluRay drive built into a skinny receiver.
Most of these - are glorified disk players with attached speakers. They are NOT designed to be the center hub of a HT system.
The crappy ones have left/right analog input. This only works from a CD player or a MP3 player.
Better units have a single optical input. These ... are halfway decent because most HDTV's have optical outputs which you can feed to this input to get 5.1 sound from whatever you plug into the TV.
The better systems have:
* Separate BluRay disk player
* Big, black receiver with lots of spare inputs
* Separate subwoofer with AC power cord to make it self powered
* 5 monitor style speakers.
These better systems cost a bit more - but are the start of a decent home theater system. The parts can be swapped out if you want something better or a part breaks.
Hope this helps.
