At least, there are DVDs being released that are compatible with both HD-DVD and Blue-ray players, which is nice. But I know what you mean about feeling left behind. I can't even keep track of which video game systems are current, for instance. Obviously, the DVD market is more important to me, but I also worry about it someday being totally alien to me.<BR/><BR/>One of the things I appreciate about the Digital Bits website, though, is that they've maintained throughout the HD-DVD / Blu-ray saga that people should not get nervous about their stuff being antiquated; regular DVDs are not going anywhere. They also encourage everyone with only a casual, regular consumer interest in DVDs and home video to just sit back, and save your money, and wait to invest in whichever of the high-def technologies becomes the default or dominant one.bhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10900492354634053246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24168108.post-89940713518770681552007-06-03T00:10:00.000-05:002007-06-03T00:10:00.000-05:00I don't know much about technology, but I love it,...I don't know much about technology, but I love it, and I love DVDs.<BR/><BR/>This new HD DVD, Blue-Ray thing gives me anxiety, simply because - like most things techie - I feel left behind. <BR/><BR/>I mean, I still don't have an iPod, or even really how to work with MP3s.<BR/><BR/>I just hope that they end up making machines that can play both HD *and* Blue Ray DVDs. Aren't video games made exclusively for Nintendo OR PS3 right now? I guess that's a bit different, but still, it would suck to have to have two machines.Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08067136509248849744noreply@blogger.com
