I’m off the hook. I didn’t select the “Betamax” this time.

I was waiting for the issue to be cleared up. I did not want to make the betamax mistake.

Me too. Locally, we’re glad this bit of technology took off. Last month, we lost 660 jobs because Pfizer’s new inhaled insulin form, Exhubera, failed to sell.

I always pick the Betamax. Heck, I still have two Beta decks.

$179 for the HD DVD add-on for my Xbox360 didn’t hurt all that much, and the remaining disks should be really cheap. It’s not like they become trash in two months.

I’d still warn people to avoid standalone Blu-Ray players until the profile 2.0 players hit stores in the fall. The only current player that is assured of being updated to the 2.0 spec is the PS3.
