Doom and gloom, gloom and doom

69.108.126.82

So I got my HD20 which I love, I go into the Mom and Pop DVD rental and the girl behind the coutner says "We don't carry HD, not until the format war is over"
DUI: "But Walmart, Costco, and the adult industry all went HD!!!"

"Yeah but Playstation (or Wii) has Blue Ray built in, so we think Blue Ray will win out..."

Oh..... :-(
