With more and more companies announcing to go Blu-Ray exclusive it is only a matter of time until Blu-Ray will be announced the winner of the battle of the high definition war. I really could care less which format wins the race because I have no intention to purchase either of them in the near future but if you plan to purchase a HD player you probably should buy a Blu-Ray player.
I’m not a huge fan of Sony and have still hopes but it looks pretty sad for the HD DVD supporters. Those consumers who have bought a HD DVD player will face a huge problem much like the Betamax users faced back in the days when VHS did win that race. It occured to me that the consumer is always loosing in this kind of wars.
If you pick the wrong player you will have to purchase another one to be able to view high definition videos, if you pick the right player you contributed to a monopoly, and it’s Sony this time – it will be awful, it’s a Sony after all.
