There is a battle between blu-ray and hddvd discs. They are two different formats. They are both Hi-def dvd’s, but different companies are supporting each. Not all dvd’s will be available in both formats. I have a Netflix account, and they are supposed to be supporting hddvd’s, not blu-ray discs. Unless they recently changed their mind. So don’t bank on one or the other. VHS and BETA had a battle. Alot of people banked on BETA, but VHS won. I want REAL high def dvd’s just as much as the next guy with a hi-def 60inch wide screen, but I’m gonna give it a year or so before I spend the kind of money and commitment it’s gonna take to get true hi-def dvd’s.
P.S. Just in case everyone didn’t know, HDMI is one of the best connections for hi-definition video and sound. I paid $80 plus tax just for a 3 foot cable.
HDMI=High-Definition Multimedia Interface
