Slightly OT: Toshiba’s HD-DVD going the way of Betamax - Glad I Waited

Published February 25, 2008 ECM

bluray I saw this post last week when I was trying to catch up from my recent travels: Peter O’Kelly’s Reality Check: Toshiba’s HD-DVD going the way of Betamax | Technology | Reuters.

I have been waiting to see who would win the  war. Anyway I decided to wait and see who might win and I was glad I did.

This weekend I was at one of the warehouse stores and they had both the Sony Blu-ray player and the Toshiba HD DVD player. The Sony was $380 and the Toshiba HD DVD was $75.  The funny things was that the employee that asked if he could help me had no idea that anyone buying the $75 HD DVD player would be buying something that will be useless in a month or so :-)

    And on-line movie sites will replace Blu-Ray or the next version of the DVD already deep in R&D.

    Hey Nice site!

    It’s right to wait! And nasty for those who have already invested in equipment.

    I have a DVD & Music website that you might want to take a look at. Why not check it out if you get time? You can get genuine films quite cheap.
