Michael Gartenberg - The Best is Still the Enemy of the Good: "I just finished a report on future of next generation optical disks that will be published shortly with a few surprises. It's really looking that both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray may well turn out to become the laserdisk for the 21st century. The game consoles are not going to serve to tip the scales in one direction or another and the lack of a standard format combined with poor marketing and overall confusion isn't helping. Let's start with the HD-DVD folks. At first blush, they seem to have a good story. Price of players down to about $199 here in NY, a cheap add on for XBox 360 and some pretty good content coming (Both the Heros and Star Trek box sets are worth waiting for). But their marketing is atrocious."
