The Battle is over and as expected Blu-Ray has beat down HD-DVD
into a bloody pulp. Well, at least they dominated the market enough
for Toshiba to throw in the towel.
So thinking of going out and buying a Blu-ray player right now?
Hold it a moment. If you've already bought a stand-alone Blu-ray
player other than a Playstation 3 then you'll be stuck with the HD-DVD
people - ie. likely to throw out your player in the near future.
Only players capable of playing Blu-ray's 2.0 profile (aka. BD-Live)
are truly future proof. At present, the only player capable of doing
that is the PS3, though Panasonic and Sony are expected to release
players soon that use the standard. We're also still a good year or
so off from the holy grail - a region free Blu-ray and DVD player
that can play either format disc from anywhere in the world.
