I guess we will see both formats. I think movies will hit on this darn HD-DVD and then we will see recorders for Blu-ray, that won't play the HD-DVD movies.

Grimes is probably right about the money issue. But I just wish for once, the superior tech would come out on top...Blu-ray! I don't see why an initial investment should be the cause to accept an inferior format. After all, it is the consumer that pays for the production lines when it is all said and done in the form of profit from purchased product. It does not come out of the companies pocket once the capital is repaid. In fact, they can write off the expenditure as a tax break for years. This is all about royalties.

If they take Blu-ray as the format, it seems this will carry us farther into the future. They bettter think hard on this. As it is my feeling that the blue laser is gonna be around a long time.
