DVD Format War Already Over?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the there-were-these-things-called-laserdiscs dept.

An anonymous reader writes "'Nobody likes false starts' - claims the assertive and risky article "10 Reasons Why High Definition DVD Formats Have Already Failed" published by Audioholics which outlines their take on why the new Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD formats will attain nothing more than niche status in a marketplace that is brimming with hyperbole. Even though the two formats have technically just hit the streets, the 'Ten reasons' article takes a walk down memory lane and outline why the new DVD tech has a lot to overcome."

    That is all. Not to say that it isn't better. It is, much. I just mean that that is all I have to say about Vinyl.

  2. Uh huh.... by AusG4 · · Score: 0, Troll

    Because I care -so much- about what "Audioholics" think about a new video product. Why do people with little or no established credibility think they'll gain my respect by writing articles entitles "Why product X sucks" or "Why products X and Y are irrelevent".

    How about doing what they're supposed to be doing... providing objective information and letting me decide for myself?

    Oh... right... because journalism is dead... that's why.
