Blu Ray Wins

Well, those of us that have been waiting for this silly Betamax vs. VHS round 2 to be over have finally gotten our wish. To those of you staring at HD DVD players and mountains of HD DVDs or the X-Box 360 HD DVD player, I'm sorry, better luck next time chap. The good news is that now that the format war is over, we can all go be good little consumers and go start buying stuff. I would just like to point out one thing to all of you though, Blu Ray players are REALLY expensive. In fact, right now, one of the most inexpensive players is the Sony PS3, yes boys and girls, the PS3, that lovely console we all forgot about. Anyway, so go out and buy one, and buy some Sony stock too while you're at it because this announcement should be pretty good for PS3 sales once people figure this out. You get a blu-ray player and an opportunity to play good games... if any ever come out. Though it would be really nice to play Grand Theft Auto 4 on something other than the shoddy X-Box 360 controller. To those of you who are more patient, wait till Christmas this year, my bet is that Blu-Ray is going to be the hot ticket item, and it is going to get cheap because the format war is over.

I was very surprised that Blu ray came out on top. When I heard Toshiba and MSFT were backing HD-DVD I thought sony had no chance.
