DVD WARS!

And so it begins:

Paramount Goes HD DVD Exclusive [Empire Online]

Director Bay joins DVD format war [BBC News]

Now I'm just too young to remember the VHS vs Betamax fight. Sure I remember the two section in the Video Shop, but awareness of technological / business current events was still a few years away.

Being a film buff I was very wary when I heard about the two new formats; not wanting to predict the winner before updating my collection or buying the latest releases. So when I heard on the Gadget Show that LG were releasing a DVD player that plays both formats, I really though that was the end of the problem.

Now this. Why can't people just get along?
