Maybe I should have stated High Definition DVD format(S) instead of HD-DVD format. I assumed everyone would know that I was talking about two different topics. One being the death of HD-DVD formats, and the second me building a HTPC while waiting out what happens with it.
I still believe Blu-ray is going to come out on top, even if the discs and players are initially more expensive. Web sites like this, magazine reviews, and the internet can be a powerful force. Look what happen to Divx before if even hit the shelves. The internet killed that. How many of you out there have told family and friends to wait. Will Blu-Ray have a reign as long as VHS had, no way. We are going to see digital download solutions, that will serious undermine buying formatted media, versus downloading and archiving your media.
