Well, Microsoft, Universal, Paramount and DreamWorks are still behind HD DVD, the best thing for consumers would be for the all studios to make both formats, most people seem to think there has to be a war and a clear winner, I believe we need both formats to keep the competition going, eventually one or the other formats will die out as the consumers have made their decision. But I'm only dreaming.

So, kind of like the Mac & PC (or is it Mac VS PC?) thing?

Or the Acura VS Audi VS BMW of North America VS Buick VS Cadillac VS Chevrolet VS Chrysler VS Dodge VS Eagle VS Ferrari VS Ford VS General Motors Corp. VS Global Electric Motorcars, LLC VS GMC VS Honda VS Hummer VS Hyundai VS Infiniti VS Isuzu VS Jaguar VS Jeep VS Kia Motors America VS Lamborghini VS Land Rover of North America VS Lexus VS Lincoln VS Lotus VS Mazda VS Mercedes-Benz VS Mercury VS Mitsubishi Motors VS Nissan VS Oldsmobile VS Peugeot VS Pontiac VS Porsche VS Regal (Buick) VS Saab VS Saturn VS Subaru VS Suzuki VS Toyota VS Volkswagen of America, Inc. VS Volvo of North America thing?

(Sorry, trying to be funny, and it isn't working.)

Competition is good, choices are good. Why studios can't make both formats is beyond me. I mean, they make have made 2 "versions" of their movies for some time. It used to be video tape and DVD, and now DVD and Hi-Def versions. Why not Blu-Ray and then a Combo HD-DVD & DVD version?

I think that these are the points of the people that like HD-DVD.

The problem is people are generally stupid (not people here though, we are all smart!) and they can't be trusted to buy the blue colored Blu-Ray box or the red colored HD-DVD box to match their machines capabilities.

You can't really tell it's the end of the week at the office for Nick, can you?

Yeah, yeah.... So what's your point!

J/K - I guess "stupid" is a bit harsh... "people are generally uneducated (when it comes to knowing the difference in technology, or the color of a box)..." would have been better. \:\)

Nick, I wasn't picking on you. I think most of us have those moments all too often where we wonder how some people managed to stay alive so darn long. \:\)

given that one of Microsoft's rivals is SONY i highly doubt they'll be doing a bluray drive anytime soon...Microsoft doesn't have much to loose if they stay with HD DVD...they don't have that much money invested into it other than the drive...so. they say we're HD DVD for ever! what happens? drags the battle on a little longer...SONY looses more money trying to compete and Microsoft sits back and continues making money and watching one of their main gaming competitors spend theirs...smart business sense in my opinion...oh! and also the longer this battle drags on the more time there is for good streaming options to be viable brought to you by who other than...yep! Microsof$t!!
