I've reached format overload  |
Phil, I'm much younger so my format list only goes back to casettes, but I'm tired of scrapping old media too.

I'm excited about the potential of the new formats too, but I don't want to buy a bunch of movies that some day I'll toss into the trash. I'm leaning much more towards renting for a good long while.
On the other hand, its hard to imagine that we're going to see another revolution in display resolution for a good long while. Is 1080p (or 7.1 surround) going to be "not good enough" some day? Perhaps newer formats will just give us the same thing but uncompressed?
