HOMEOpen Season… Techno
- Over at CrunchGear, I noticed the video release of Open Season, and yet that’s not what was important. As much as I would not like to overshadow interest releases or launches, this particular item rolls into another topic all together. Maybe because I have more of a preference towards Nintendo, but the battle between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD has become completely insane. While I am all for new development and technology, the time spans on the here and now are becoming far too short. I remember that the VHS had about a fifteen year ride as the major source of home entertainment. However, the DVD has yet to pass a completely decade?? Already, we have two, top flight formats, trying to beat the other to the finishline, and yet neither has looked back to try to include a cross-compatibility for our current version of entertainment. As an average consumer, who would want to shell out hundreds of dollars for the specialized player, that only plays specialized discs, that only works the best with a specialized television, which cost three times the player?!? At the rate of this technology, the average consumer will not be able to afford one item in this futuristic entertainment battle until way into the future itself… Plus, I just finished tracking down everything past and present, on DVD… just try and make me switch!! Yep, electronically… it is open season!!
