yeah, it looks like neither blu ray nor hd dvd are gonna do what DVD did to videos. i'd much rather get DVD quality, or even VCD quality, if i can just turn on my iTV or whatever box they have by then and pick a movie of my choice that i have already purchased. if i can do away with stashes of DVDs, i would. i wouldn't even care if the movie is stored on the hard disk... if they can make streaming fast enough. in fact it'll be much more elegant that way. you know, like gmail and google online spreadsheets and documents. i do all of my casual stuff on google spreadsheet and word these days. do i miss the bells and whistles of MS word? not really. being mobile FAR outweighs the nicer formating and whatever features. blu-ray and HD dvd are at best a transitional or niche technology.
the Wii is an epidemic.
