And they'll continue to come down in cost. Blu Ray is a superior product across the board. Sony lost the Betamax battle (a superior product to VHS as well), but lucky for us not the BluRay battle! I could care less about the politics of it all. All I care about is that since I've spent a chunk of change on a great HDTV, I want the best picture available on dvd, and Blu Ray looks the best in every case I've seen so far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-21207992856991757892008-01-30T11:10:00.000-08:002008-01-30T11:10:00.000-08:00O.K.
