yet another reason for me to feel that BR sucks. they really aimed too low when they set their goal of making the next-gen DVDs. i swear its every other week i hear of some new technology that will give BR a run for its money either in cost or in features.

Theres alway going to be a format war because companies want to keep making money off the royalties. Blue ray was just another scheme to get people to re buy movies they already own. Its also an attempt at raking in licensing fee's. Hell even the manufacturers are happy to introduce a new format every 5 years. To be honest, the media should be made independent of the player. Sadly this won't happen for a good while yet, maybe once we have virtually limitless storage things will be forced to change.
