HD DVD, on the other hand, is the "laserdisc" format. It's perfectly adequate for the purpose it serves, but it will never expand into other areas, as DVD did.

Is it inovative? Maybe, but so was the Minidisc, and Betamax, and Memroystick. Sony is famous for creating formats that fail. If that was all that Blu Ray has against it, I could probably overlook it. With it's anti consumer stance, high cost, lack of set standard, and questionable business practices ( Yes, the way a company does business influences how I buy ), I can't get behind it
