It's about time. The HD industry has suffered too long from the format war. Time to move on with a single format!

Indeed, now we can actually buy High Def media without worrying about if you're buying a dying media or not

It's not really a surprise since Blue ray disc has more capacity than HD DVD and Sony has slashed its PS3 to very affordable price. Try comparing a Blu ray PS3 that acts almost like a computer that cost RM1300++ and a Blue ray player which costs RM3000++.

Sony has taken this extreme move to move Blue ray faster to the consumer

I am glad that one format has finally been chosen, but I still hate the fact that both formats were rushed to beat each other to market without finalizing either HD spec

The world had just embraced the standard DVD market, and it is still a very viable format.

ahhh de prowess of the PS series. toshiba and MS got pwned in round 3.
there is a reason why sony could sell over 100 million unit of PS2 from 00-05. 6 more generations to go. who is next?
