Stuck in the middle with HD-DVD
February 12, 2008With the recent news that Warner are going to back out of their HD-DVD exclusivity agreement, followed by Woolworths limiting their charts to blu-ray and rumours beginning to fly about Currys dropping HD-DVD players, it looks as though the dramatised war between HD-DVD and blu-ray isn’t helping anyone. By clinging on, it makes it difficult for consumers to make a decision, who then ask experts that tell them that it’s best to hold on or buy games consoles; that happen to be the cheapest HD players. The bravest consumers are faced with potential of owning the next beta-max and early adopters, as ever would get both. They’ll at least be guaranteed to end up with an extinct format, but at least they’ll be able to buy any HD movie. So, it looks promising that the war is kind of over, which is good for everyone involved. Possibly?
