Just when the format war couldn't get any worse...

... for the consumer. A brand new HD format is being produced. HD VMD.

It's getting out of control.

Actually, this is good news. This completely solidifies my decision not to buy any of them.

By the time the dust settles from this short-sighted format war, something better will be along anyway.

Let's just all jump on the bandwagon, shall we? I wonder how much these companies are going to lose like this.

[Rand{CLR}]

Yeah, I saw that thing about 3 weeks ago. More idiocy added to the mix, why not?

Upconvert DVD for the win.

At the rate this war is going both formats will lose and end up being a filler format like Laserdisc until the next best thing comes along.

I really want Transformers in HD.

Bah! Format wars never get settled. Me, I'm just peachy with my 8-trax. :P

I really want Transformers in HD.

Me too. The day before I bought my HDTV, I downloaded the HD trailer of Transformers on my 360 so I'd have something to "wow" at. It didn't disappoint. It's too bad the 360 has such a limited selection of HD movies for download, they could make some money off of people like me that want the HD goodness but don't want a soon-to-be-obsolete HD-DVD drive.

If Sony didn't try to come up with their own damn format for everything....I swear they do it just to be a pain in the ass.

[Clear Black]

I solved the format war easily at my house. I bought the XA2 and the PS3, that way I have BOTH formats.

Well, I have a HD Plasma TV and will not support these format wars.
