Blue Ray wins the Hi-Def DVD war

Personally, I'm very happy Blu-Ray won the war. It's a significantly more advanced technology than HD-DVD, and it's nice to see the "better" format win for a change (as compared to VHS over Betamax).

:rotfl: :rotfl: That just cracked me up because I remember as a kid, our Dad giving us the Beta video, better format argument. While it was true it did nothing to soften our family embarrassment and shame as all my school friends had VHS and had a wealth of title to choose from at the video stoor while we were stuck in the pitifully small Beta section of the video store with such a narrow choice of 'old' releases. We were like video lepers.

I have sworn never to put my children through what my father did in the Beta vs VHS debacle.

Long live Blu-Ray.
