Ferrari Mailing List: Re: OT: Blu Ray looks to win format war

[Ferrarisimo [at] Comcast.net (Ferrarisimo]

Went with Blu-Ray 6 months ago.  With a 65" 1080p TV the pictures is  
phenomenal.  Not that much difference with a TV smaller than 42".

If you are thinking about making the move, at this point you, should  
hold out until the next generation machines - with internet access -  
come out.  Not too far away, and they promise some "extra features"  
along with downloadable "stuff."  Even if you are not interested in  
that extra flexibility, the prices on the current generation machines  
will fall.

Of course, wait a few weeks and the HDDVD players will be FREE as  
EVERYONE dumps the format.

Anyone want a BETAMAX?
