It's true that there's a new VHS vs. Beta thing coming for the next generation high definition big capacity discs, but Sony's technology is just one of the new standards. One of them will win. The early adopters who buy the wrong machine will be screwed.
Not if you are careful in choosing. Years ago many people were buying the Commodore computer. I figured it was foolish and instead, bought the TI
44a. After all, Texas Instrument would be making those computers and supporting them for years to come. Maybe I should upgrade?
It was the TI99-4A and I went with it also. Advertised by Bill Cosby. I also bought property advertised by Pat Boone. Sucks to be us.

Still got mine in the basement. Along with a bunch of other useless crap. But it served its purpose, I got my first taste of programming on that sucker.
Isn't Boone (or someone similar) now hawking gold (coins?) on the TV? Maybe I should get some of those ....

Expect machines that are capable of playing both (HD-DVD, Blu-Ray) technologies. They aren't so different from a hardware standpoint.
