Beta-ray is doomed.

Sony has pissed off all their best customers. They are dead to me.

There’s an easy way to forcast which format will win out:
Find which one Sony is pushing and go with the other one. :-)

They make nice stuff, but they never seem to get their way.

If the Blu-ray manufacturers can’t get their act together soon, they will have to retool for HD-DVD players if they don’t want to loose their shirts.

I hope it dies!!! I like my DVD’s. Sorry for those who like Blu-ray, but we don’t need another video system. We have one that is adequate. This is one area that I don’t believe in capitalism...lol.

... Instead, they met the requirements of the simpler "initial profile." ...

Saw this in action last month... a co-worker bought a new Blu-ray DVD and his player could not play the disk. Samsung ultimately responded that it was a "known" problem, and it took a month a get a firmware update so his player could handle the DVD.
