That sinking feeling at BB

[mikesoba]

I just got back from Best Buy (Torrance, CA, Hawthorne @ Pacific Coast Highway).

I was surprised to see that shelf space for Blu-Ray had doubled from 2 racks to 4, while it looked like HD DVD had two . . .

But then I turned around and saw an additional 4 racks for HD DVD -- for a total of 6. That's 6 racks of HD DVD to 4 for Blu-Ray. What is going on?

Having invested in a player and about 65 BDs, my stomach sank and I put back what I had in hand. I'm reaching the point where I feel like bowing out of the HD mess until one format prevails and the other is gone (hopefully BD will prevail with the money I have tied up in it--and not one cent in HD DVD).

I may change my mind later--but right now, I'm losing enthusiasm for the entire HD format and the failure of the studios to respond to sales and settle this now for our sakes!
