Current Status of the High definition DVD format battle

Newsflash:Blockbuster Stores to carry Blu Ray only
Sony Betamax versus VHS..our guess is most of the viewers of our site remember the battle of two different VCR formats. People argued which format was better, in the end number of units from multiple vendors made VHS the winner.

Will history repeat itself? Sony has launched it's Blu Ray format and for high definition DVD and Toshiba launched HD DVD. This coming holiday season will mark the first significant battle for market share and eventual domination.
