Quote from our review:

"Ten years after the first DVD player wowed us, the next generation of DVD is hitting stores. This time there’s a choice: HD DVD, supported by Toshiba, Microsoft and Thomson; and Blu-ray Disc, backed by Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, Pioneer, Sharp and Philips. LG, for one, has said it might support both.

With single-disc DVD players ringing up at Target for $39 a pop, it’s no wonder the industry is pushing the next big thing in video. But for many consumers who are content with their existing libraries of video discs, DVD fills their need. These are likely the same people who are satisfied with their analog or EDTVs and haven’t caught on to the wonders of HDTV.
