    Well, you can take some of it as sour grapes but you can also take it that many feel cheated by the inferior tech being chosen. Most of what I have read point to HD DVD being the better format. That being said I feel that consumers feel completely impotent with respects to this issue and that make s people sour.

  3. Comment - Universal, Amazon hop on Blu-ray bandwagon as HD DVD prices fall

    The one thing to remember is how fast technology KEEPS speeding up. What used to take 5-7 years to mature or change takes less than half that....Just look at cpu's or graphics engines/video cards for instance. I suspect BD has much less time to make inroads with their players before someone makes it yesterdays news. I can think of HD downloads or HD on demand through a cable or satellite company as two.

    I have a feeling by the time BD becomes mainstream and inexpensive the tech will have passed them by for the next best thing.....
