eldavojohn writes "For a while there, I didn't know what to buy. Blu-Ray or HD-DVD? Which would be the leader? Only a fool would buy discs of the technology that would be the next Betamax. Fortunately, my dilemma has been solved by Broadcom. From the article: 'Consumer and communications chip supplier Broadcom Corp. Thurs. (Nov. 9) introduced what the company labeled the first single-chip solution to support both Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD standards.' I guess I'll just wait until I can get a player that will play them both."

"Your year long anit-Sony/PS3 FUD campaign has been a total waste of everyone on Slashdot's time."

Anti-Sony FUD campaign? That's a funny thing to call Sony's marketing tactics.

"DRM encumbered"

You misspelled "encrusted".

I think what you meant was "infected".
