Re: Coordinated HD-DVD purchase...


If I were a betting man, I would say this is not the taking of any one side per se, but rather letting the industry know the consumer doesn't want to be taking bets on which side to go with, only a year later having found out you invested 1k+ on a dead technology. Especially since it is a proven fact that the highest quality product is not necessarily going to be the winner. Unfortunately history has proven that it is the best-marketed product that wins (I site Beta vs. VHS as proof). Hence my "wait and see" philosophy...
