RE: Will HD DVD be the new Betamax ?

"Betamax failed because SONY were doing it alone, and the other big companies in Japan were united around VHS."


Totally different scenario today - Toshiba are alone in making players but it's the software which will decide this battle and the studios, where the split isn't quite so one sided.

DD-DVD players are cheaper than BluRay, the players are multi-region and now that LG have come out with the first dual format player I expect many other dual format players to follow.

How then will people react when they have a dual format machine which will play every video disc available......apart from BluRays from a different region?
