I agree Claire it`s an interesting point,still don`t know why they can`t just decide on one format(hopefully hd-dvd in my case due to my Toshiba player).Do you know where the format war came from,when I first heard of it a while ago now,in a paper I think,I`m sure it said it`s because the different companies couldn`t decide whether to call it hd-dvd or blu-ray and so they went with what they wanted it named i.e Sony to blu-ray,Toshiba to hd-dvd,although I know Sony pretty much invented the whole blu-ray thing.Can anyone else shed any light on this?I reckon this year will see some interesting developments in the hd area.Thanks Claire and happy new year.P.s,are you married?
