Truth is

a successful format is cheap and simple. NEITHER format has hit mainstream consumers as being something way better than the format that is cheap and simple.

Maybe both formats will go away and someone will come up with a successor High Definition DVD format that no longer has the compatibility problems and needs only an inexpensive player.

I wish this would happen..neither of these formats appear to be winning the minds and hearts of consumers.
A well mastered 480p standard DVD on my 720p Panasonic PT-AX100U projector is breathtaking in its clarity. I was watching "Coccoon" last night and counting the individual leaves on the trees.
