Suffering? Are you really suffering because of the format war?<br /> Why they are doing it is very simple. SONY. Sony likes to go their own way in the hopes of cornering the market. Mini Disc, Beta Max, etc.<br /> They have failed before, but this time Disney is on their side so between Sony's movie studios and Disney, Blue Ray has an advantage. HD-DVD can still win however by dropping their price to $99 and pumping out as many big titles as they can, but not at $30 +. The HD-DVD movies should be $20-$25. The fact that it can play the old DVD's as well will help. The war is certainly not over, but I think that finally Sony (Blue Ray) will win in the end. So Hassan, relax and watch to see who will win. What is the rush anyway, I bet that you just recently bought your first High Def TV and with up conversion, your old DVD player will look good enough. Besides, do you really want to pay $35 for a blue ray movie?</p> Hassan Noor is a wee bit dramatic. Suffering? Are you really suffering because of the format war?

Although this war does not make any sense, as it applies to wars in real life also, why can't they sit and decide peacefully what step they should take instead of using stupid tectics like Toshiba reducing prices and Blue Ray coming out with better titles then HD DVD.

Just like any war between countries which is a direct result of the goverment actions, it is always people who suffer and in this case the two rulers are Toshiba and Sony and they both want people to believe that what they say is right making people confused about what they believe in.

No wonder we are so far behind when it comes to these kinds of players in this country.... </p> I guess Wal-Mart and Best Buy are not going to offer the same deal in Canada.
