Defining High Standards

Sony, Toshiba seek unified DVD format

And you thought I was thrilled about the civil unions in Connecticut? This is the kind of news that changes lives on a day-to-day basis! If the makers of Blu Ray and HD DVD can agree on a single format, we could all be watching movies in high definition in mere months--and without a war between two formats!

Of course, we'll have to make room for this new player, and our TV stand only has four slots--one for the receiver, one for the SACD/DVD player, one for the cable box, and one for the VCR. Looks like the VCR is going to have to bite the dust and we're going to have to get a cable box with a DVR. Or we'll have to get an HD DVD player with SACD capabilities and dump the current DVD player. Either way, my eyes and ears may be happy about this, but my wallet will surely cringe!
