Why does Sony and Disney have to ruin this Holiday season with their attempt to control our lives and prices of High Definition DVD? All of the major movie producers are willing to use a standardized format for HD but Sony wants to corner the HD market now in creating their own format (BlueRay), owning MGM, 20th Century and getting in bed with Disney. This is more dangerous in my mind than when MicroSoft took over the PC market because MS was still producing all content for even Apple computers! If you want to pay inflated prices for HD the rest of your life just go with Blu Ray!!! Disney and Sony can KMA! I'll buy whatever is on HD-DVD and UPCONVERT the rest of my standard DVDs. FYI - The other major movie producers are on HD-DVD. Don't answer with COMPARISONS here please - I already know specs. With multilayering, capacity is irrelevant and HD-DVD minimum performance requirements are HIGHER.
This season I'll be watching Transformers in HD, not Pirates of the C. !!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, yet yeah. yet another format conflict. great Audio and DVD-Audio had countless the comparable subject, yet they the two have been given stomped via MP3s. human beings resorted to volume of song fairly than high quality. fairly much less possibly a downloadable video format can injury HDDVD and Blu-Ray. Having a multi format participant is handy for the tip person, however the conflict between the formats is going to take midsection degree as against advancing the HD technologies. So we are going to go through till finally somebody wins.
