It's Beta-max vs. VHS all over again

[The Shadoe]

I work for a CD & DVD Duplication/Replication company, and part of what I do is research the latest trends in the industry. I may end up eating my words, but I am betting that Blu-ray will come out on top. A lot more news, studio support, and progress has been coming out of the Blu-ray camp.

To sum it up:
Blu-ray - Revolutionary
HD DVD - Evolutionary

I don't plan on replacing all the DVDs I currently have. Once one of the high-definition formats comes out as the winner and I eventually buy a player, I will simply add to my collection with the new format; the original DVD technology will be backward compatable.

Anybody who is interested in keeping up on the latest news with this, may be interested in the list of articles that I maintain: http://www.discburn.com/newsletters/
