But that can't be because BluRay is a fad and will die soon and dl's take over and new formats and blah blah blah.
I hope this year will be even better for BluRay so people realize that this format is not stillborn no matter how much some people wish it were.

I admit I want Blu-Ray to not take off, but only because, dammit, I don't want to buy some of my movies again. And letting them change the formats this fast sets a bad precedent!

 

You don't have to, the BD players play DVD's as well, for me it'll be only the absolute must have's that I get on HD format (from the old DVD collection I mean). I have around 200 DVD's but I won't be getting more than 10-12 of those on BluRay anytime soon.

 

Edit; @ tuoyo; there weren't a whole lot of PS2's in 1999...
