Imagine that Blu-Ray wins tomorrow - all new H-Def movie releases are
BLUE. Will prices come down? No. The prices may actually go higher or
stay the same longer. Will BD profile 1.1 appear sooner/quicker? Meh.

Big WOOP and pile of Kung-Fu.

HD-VMD and Chinese HD are in the works. These horses have some really
long odds against even leaving the starting gate, but a case can be made
that hi-def DVD will become even more of a mess than it is right now.

The current winner, and still champion is standard DVD! Folks must
tweak panels, upconvert and scale these lovely, standard rainbow_esque
discs!

Patience grasshoppers. All good things come to those who wait. And
start watching FEWER movies to get more enjoyment out of your worthless
life. Read a book. Fly a kite. Cut back on the entertainment
addiction. :~P
