We predicted Blu Ray would win and it has

I am not the only person to predict that Blu-Ray high definition format would beat HD-DVD in the format wars so thw question is now what do you do if you:

1) Bought an HD-DVD player
2) Are looking to buy a new DVD player soon

If you bought an HD DVD from Toshiba or one of the other vendors take heart, there are at least some movies out that will take advantage of the format and fortunately your player will read traditional DVDs. If you paid top dollar for yours...consider it a lesson learned..don't be an early adopter when format wars loom.

If you are considering buying a new player, you might want to wait a few months as there is an expected surge in Blu Ray sales which will stress inventories, meaning few if any price specials. However by summer you can expect to see some of that backlog taken care of and increased production from many vendors.

And don't forget both Sony Playstation 3s and a number of the Apple Macs come with Blu Ray built in.
