I held out for a long time taking a wait and see attitude then finally got a PlayStation 3 a couple months ago. I figured even if movies on Blu-Ray didn't make it, the games for PS3 would justify the hardware investment.

Like the Sony Beta tape format, Blu-Ray appeared to be the superior technology but better technology doesn't always win. The recent format war news is encouraging and I truly hope Blu-Ray takes off. It will be nice (for a change) to see the superior technology win.

And the consumer wins!

        I didn't get from your post that "only average HD" was a significant improvement - Jazz Inmate 13:25:28 01/06/08 (5)
