BD-ROM

Here’s a pretty good article that explains the on-going epic battle between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD. I still find it somewhat ironic that Matsushita, the company responsible for the VHS format that killed Sony’s Betamax for the consumer market, is in the Blu-Ray camp… Despite Sony’s past failures with their proprietary formats, I’m betting on Blu-Ray this time. I mean, if they can make UMD, a proprietary format that doesn’t even work on anything other than a PSP, the fastest-selling media format since DVD, then there’s no reason why Blu-Ray should fail.
