I used to wish I was old enough to remember the VHS vs. Betamax standards war. Being the geek I am, I would have probably bought a Betamax and gotten screwed in the end, but since it is THE classic standards battle, it would have been worth living through in real life.
Well, now I can live through my generations Betamax vs. VHS, as the HD DVD standard begins to battle it out with the Blu-ray DVD standard. Given the history of these standards I don't expect them to merge, so we can expect there to be some big winners and big losers in this fight, which always makes it interesting.
