Digital Playground, like many companies, realizes Blu-ray and HD-DVD are so similar and choosing between them hasn't been simple. Ultimately, though, the promised install base from PlayStation 3 and Blu-ray's security functions won them over. "They'e pretty similar in every other way," Digital Playground co-founder Joone said. "We went with Blu-ray because storage and security are the main issues for us."
Even Microsoft has said they may release a Blu-ray adaptor for Xbox 360 if the format prevails. They're already planning an external HD-DVD disc drive for release later this year, though they haven't nailed down any specifics since their announcement at CES.
PlayStation 3 is fast becoming an important point to companies on the fence between formats, and the machine's market penetration will likely determine much of the format war. "We see PlayStation 3 as the Trojan horse that will lead the way and Blu-ray as the format that will be around longer - and we can do more interesting things with it," says Joone.
