Blu-Ray wins . . . who cares?
With Toshiba bowing out of the race for the next-generation DVD, it looks like Blu-Ray wins the war.
My thoughts on the matter (in my best Chris Farley voice): la-de-freakin'-dah!
I'm more than happy with the standard DVDs I use, and have little interest in the pursuit of high-definition picture and super-sonic surround sound. I care more about the story of the film, and see no point in getting caught up in the materialistic craze of ultra-quality picture and sound.

Ok, but doesn't that leave us with the other machines kinda stuck in the mud with no where to go? If they stop making the old kind and only do blu-ray doesn't that mean we have to have 2 machines now: one for the old style and one for the blu-Ray? I'm so #@%$/^%$ confused now!!!!
Both the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray camps have assured us that Blu-ray and HD-DVD machines can play standard DVDs. But the catch is that a regular DVD player can't play an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray disc.
In other words, the upgraded machine can play the current format, but the current machines can't play an upgraded DVD.
So in theory, we won't be forced to upgrade to a higher DVD format now that we've all finished upgrading from VHS to DVD.
