Still good on Toshiba for sticking with it, without them high def DVD would be still very expensive.

I agree that the consumer is winning with the format war, long may it rage I say.

Some people would have you believe that this 'war' is bad for the consumer. What? A monopoly bad for the consumer? Wake up!

Amazon, and i'm sure other retailers, are heavily discounting loads of movies on blu-ray, probably in retaliation, which is good for me and my PS3
