Unfortunately, there is a "standard's battle" going on between two rivaling camps (each camp consisting of several home electronics manufacturers). One standard is called
"Blu-Ray", the other is simply called
"HD-DVD". It's Betamax vs. VHS all over again. We see more and more DVD players popping up supporting playback of DVDs with the higher HDTV resolutions, but most are either Blu-Ray or HD-DVD. At the time of this writing there's only one player that supports both formats. And since movie companies so far have only released a handful of movies for either format, it's unclear which format is going to win. Remember, even though Betamax was the better standard, it lost to VHS because you couldn't get adult movies on Betamax while you could on VHS. So it's not just a question of which is better.
