In what's shaping up as an electronics industry trial of the century_between two incompatible, high-definition video-disc formats_the holdout juror is Ken Graffeo, Universal Home Video executive vice president of HD strategic marketing. And he may very well upset the whole case.
Funny that article doesn't mention that it's Universal plus, um, porn against Blu-Ray.
But I wonder if anyone buys porn on actual physical media any more? I doubt that will drive things the way it did in VHS days.
Also, I thought players were arriving that could play both formats. Won't that sort of make this battle go away? (Like the same way MP3 and AAC aren't really competing to the death because they can just live side by side without the user having to really think about it?) Maybe the dual players will be too expensive though.
Dual players are too expensive right now -- about the price of one of each. But that premium may go away. I've heard talk about dual mode optics. All the rest of the differences are just silicon and SW.
