Nobody is scared of this, least of all Toshiba or Sony.
HD VMD only holds 20gigs a side, contrary to the incorrect info in this post. No studio support. Porn will not drive adoption of an HD optical format because nobody rents porn anymore, they get it off the internet.
HD DVD is already at $199 and offers visual performance that is equal to or surpasses Blu Ray, and had finalized specs to boot. I honestly don't know what New Media thinks their market is for this format. It brings nothing new or better to the table, which is foolish in the face of an already heated format war.
Obscure hardware collectors snag your HD VMD players fast, they won't be here long.
