Thanks for the article. I've read this kind of articles before and the whole " DVD vs. Bue Ray format DVD " has been debated since 2005. The people like me who already own about 100 DVD will be affected. I wouldn't want to go out and rebuy again the titles what I own. Remember when the Laserdiscs came out in the 1990's and the whole thing went the toilet. This will affect all of us in the end.

I really hope Sony doesn't win a format war because it will just encourage them to keep doing this crap. You'd think the company would have learned its lesson after beta. Industry-wide standards are better for everybody but the obstinate company that won't compromise. That company is Sony.
I think the most likely solution is going to be the dual-chipset player, but even that annoys me because Sony still gets its way at least a little bit if that's the way it goes. -
Yeah, bad job by Sony.
The format failed in its attempt to become the choice of consumers, but it still found a niche for itself.
Warner and Fox going with Blu-Ray is great for consumers, because it means there's finally an end to this idiotic format war. Get rid of HD-DVD, focus on bringing Blu-Ray's production costs down. By the time Blu-Ray gets down to a more affordable level, demand for HD content will be widespread enough that Blu-Ray will be ready for widespread adoption. -

I'm glad I missed the "personify and demonize a company of your choice" boat. Seems to be all the rage on the intertron. -

It was a joke. Anybody who knows me knows that I am not here to bash anyone...and I didn't. -
Personally I'm waiting to get into the HD market for a few more years. I'm waiting until someone wins the format war (which is looking more likely now) and manufacturers evolve the technology to the point were fast moving images such as sports and action movies don't appear blurry in HD. The new 120Hz monitors are getting there... -
I have both Blu-Ray (PS3) and HD-DVD (Xbox 360) so I really didn't care whether it'd be a long stalemate or someone wins. That said, I sorta liked the idea of an HD-DVD/DVD Combo format that was seen in movies like 300 and Bourne Ultimatum. It allowed me to use it in high def but also on older players that don't support HD-DVD (i.e. laptop DVD drive).
