While I don't doubt for a second that Blu-Ray will outdo HD-DVD, I believe that it won't be very successful.

Apparently, Sony believes that next-generation gaming comes in the form of HD and Blu-Ray.

The thing about this is that not enough people have an HDTV.

Yes, there are the poor saps who will waste their money for a PS3 when they own a s***ty 1996 RCA, but I think that if people took a good look at exactly what the PS3 is trying to do, they would find that to get the most out of their money, they would need to own an HDTV.

The HD era seems to be forced upon the consumer by console makers. It's just not necessary yet. I'm happy with my DVDs and so is the rest of the f***ing world.
