The battle that I am talking about is the format wars. HDDVD and Blu-ray are two different formats that is going to take the place of DVDs. If have not heard Blu-ray took a huge win when Warner Bros has signed a deal to go Exclusive with Sony's Blu-Ray. So knowing that Paramount is thinking of switching its allegiance to Sony. If that is the case then in the HDDVD will have only have Universal studios if Paramount leaves. Sony Bu-Ray already have Walt Disney, 20th Century Fox, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Lionsgate. I remember see that Sony camp has paid up to 500 million to get WB on board with the Blu-Ray format. Sony is smart even if they have to pay all the studio a large sum of cash to get them on to pick a their side. It will only be an investment cost for Sony because they will have a chance to win this format war and will start to sell their Blu-ray disc and players. So with this update I still going sit on the fence and wait but I am leaning towards Sony's Blu-ray. Now the Playstation 3 is starting look like a better investment. Because the Playstation 3 has a Blu-ray player in it.
