Unfortunately this was always looking like a Beta v VHS scenario (and
Luddite that I am I only mothballed my last Beta Hi Fi machine less
than 2 years ago) - and we consumers really just have to accept
whatever economics and industry politics decree, which as we have
seen is not always the superior technology (I don't know enough to
make that call with Blu-ray v HD DVD).

Let's hope this isn't the start of a trend :(
Japan's Toshiba and its partners gained a much-needed boost in the
next-generation DVD format war after Paramount Pictures and
DreamWorks
Animation said they would exclusively support HD DVD.
The decision to drop the rival Blu-ray format is a blow to Sony
Corp. and its
partners, who have scored some valuable points recently in the
tussle in
high-definition DVDs.
Movies distributed by Paramount Pictures, DreamWorks Animation and
Pictures,
Paramount Vantage, Nickelodeon Movies and MTV Films will be released
exclusively in HD DVD, the companies said in a statement late Monday.
