The PC/Mac argument doesn't apply here.

This is more akin to the DVD-Audio/SACD war.

I just hate that the "neutrals" think they're helping. They think it's like PlayStation vs XBOX, where you can have multiple formats, buy either or both, and "win". This is Consumer Electronics. The general public expects a standard, and neither they nor retailers will tolerate multiple formats. It's confusing to JP6 who in the end will buy neither.

For BD to survive, HD DVD must die. Period.

another dude that thinks he knows geeky stuff and is totally clueless. He probably thinks 2k means 2000p.
2k is 1080p for widescreen movies. "I don't believe we'll be seeing 2k transfers of films anytime soon" heh, What? 1.9k (1920) is soooooooo 1% area degraded from the 1960 pixel wide projected image from a 2k (2048) Super-35 scan. If he only knew that something like Goodfellas scanned at 2k only makes a 930 x 1720 scan.
I guess I really don't have two hundred 2k discs. I feel so unrealized.
