HD Format Wars

I've been out of the format war going on between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray mainly because I don't have a TV that can do 1080p (my Samsung only goes up to 1080i) and I don't buy a lot of movies. The rest of the world, though, has been eagerly awaiting the outcome and successor. Those in the HD-DVD camp have received another crushing blow. Netflix, popular online DVD-Rental site, has selected to go Blu-Ray exclusive according to Reuters. After most of the major studios making the shift to Blu-Ray and now Netflix, does HD-DVD have a chance? It looks like Sony may have learned from their mistakes with their UMD

Now... to save up for a PS3 to do Blu-Ray.

Introducing the Tech and Entertainment Labels. Pretty obvious for these two. Tech deals with technology, new and old. Entertainment is anything relating to movies, music, etc.
