Now, don't mis-understand me. i like Blu-Ray. I'm overjoyed that HD-DVD is finally dead. But there was something so shallow about having this news pop-up next to the main story of another gunman who killed 5 people on a college campus. Kind of took the wind out of my sails....and puts it into perspective. guess we latch on to things like format wars because it's a distraction from the harsh realities of life.

Good words, Frank. I raise my glass to you. We should all remember what's important.

Overreact much? That story is still the main thing on the page, this is a little thing in the corner.

Yes. Good old news websites... Top headlines meshed together. "Five dead in school shooting, Britney Spears puts her socks on backwards, Wallmart goes Blu-ray exclusive, Roids not good for Baseball afterall and First look at baby Cruize.

I rather focus, on the positive. Unfortunally, there is a lot of crazy people around.

and yet they post an article with it about how they doubt blu ray will take off like dvd..saying itunes shows that people don't need physical media..okay..that is music..people want music fast for on the go..movies are a different damn story..i like having my movie in a box..sorry.

Was also a headline in Canada's CBC website for a bit and they confirmed that Walmart Canada is following the lead of Walmart USA.

Bye bye Venturer hehe.

I've seen Blu-ray news everwhere in the last couple of weeks, with HD-DVD dead, people will start adopting finally.
