I posted this elsewhere but thought Murphyman might like to read about it. (Click HERE to read a good article about the competing formats.)

The Blu-ray group also ran into a bit of a snag recently with the Dept. of Justice. You can read about that HERE

I also agree with Gonk (who doesn't?) about the technolgy portion of the industry. At some point, you have to jump in the pool. Do your research, get the best value you can and then enjoy it. If you keep waiting for the newest, bigger, badder technology, that's all you'll be doing....waiting.
