| 383229 | 2005-08-23 15:16:00 | The two competing standards for the next-generation DVDs, Blu-Ray (Sony, Matsu****a) and HD DVD (Toshiba, Sanyo, NEC), will continue to be incompatible after the proponents could not agree to a unified standard, as reported by Australian IT (australianit.news.com.au). Seeing that PCWorld does not like Matsu****a, I will therefore support HD DVD... |

| 383230 | 2005-08-23 15:35:00 | The original article from reuters (today.reuters.com). I'm pretty slow on the uptake, I'm still trying to see any difference between current DVD formats and what they matter. Since Sony will be incorporating Bluray into their PS3, I'll probably put my money on them if there is to be a "vhs vs betamax" showdown. | sal (67) | ||

I hope someone comes along with a 50G, light-speed flash memory-based device and kills them all dead. |

Go to the video store to hire some movies, you just plug your flash memory in and a time limited movie file is transferred to it. Buy a new game or movie, it should come on a SD card or similar. Just think of the storage space saved, you could carry many SD cards in one customised DVD cover. |
