      Everybody who is officially already sick of the Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD battle, please raise your hand.

      [raises hand]

      Both sides have pissed me off and I hope they both lose now. What's that new standard coming out of China called? EVD?

            If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

                      How about putting both "standards" into multi-format drives as was done with DVD +/- R and be done with it? Hell, put the Chinese "standard" in there too if it'll make 'em happy

                        Made me realise something...PS3 won't be that succesfull here definetelly as new XBOX (and what discs will Revolution use?...). Heck, PS1 started to be popular only when cheaply making CDs became possible...

                          Knowing Nintendo they will use their own proprietary standard and keep the game prices higher than anyone else.
