Good. I didn't really mind too much which format won. Only being able to get certain movies on a certain format is rediculous and the industry couldn't sustain that for too long. At least this war didn't take ~10 years, like the VHS vs. Betmax one did. :)I'm on the look out for a replacement player for my ageing DVD player which only has RGB SCART output that looks way too bright on my new LCD telly - I have to turn the brightness and contrast way down. :/
As I need a replacement, I figured it may be worth going with an HD player, but only when we have a single standard format, so this is good news.
Er, this is prolly a dumb question: can blu-ray players also play standard DVD discs?
@mrtricks: Have a look here. I found it useful. Ended up getting a Panasonic and am very pleased with it. Got mine online from this place at ~£150 cheaper than the same one in Comet. ;)
