The only thing I was ever able to think of was, "didn't anyone learn anything from the VCR format wars?"

I'm all for capitalism, but when you're talking about something as pricey as a hi-def DVD player, it is a disservice to the public to put them in the position of having spent a bunch of jack on something that will suddenly cease to be available once the Market decides which standard wins.

How are the people who adopted HD DVD supposed to view Toshiba and the apparent disregard for their decision-making? "Thanks for buying our shit, now you're fucked..."

Plus, Bill Gates is gonna be pissed. Doesn't X Box 360 have an HD DVD player built in? Its not nice to fool Mother Nature...err...Microsoft.
