| Re: Is the format war really about to be over?
Having gone through the VHS-Betamax competition, none of this comes as a surprise to me. What amazes me a bit is that consumers still bite on these dualing formats issues. New technology is always very tempting and fun to play with, but it is us who need to look at these things and say no until a single standard is accepted and I just don't see that happening. I agree with the concerns that lack of competition leads to higher prices on both the players and the DVDs, especially if Sony has its way.
