Guys, outside Club Dork nobody cares about HD-DVD or Blu-Ray.
These new formats are just fighting over who'll be the next Laser-Disc. |
Quoted for truth!

You only see a massive format shift when the new format offers significant concrete improvements over the old methods--never having to rewind the tape is a significant improvement. Better image quality is not. Remember the progression of magnetic tape to CD to MP3 for proof of this.
HD-DVD and Blu-Ray will be footnotes in the DVD chapter of the history books.

1) The people with vested interests in a new format make the movies

HD looks nice. |
Apple's sure making a killing because people want high-quality audio, huh?
Convenience trumps quality every time. We invented fast food, remember?

I was trying to suggest this earlier, but it never came out right. Thanks for saying it better than I could, Joe.
