DVD Fight Almost Over? Will It Matter?
from the too-late... dept
Could it be? After years and years of fighting over the next generation of DVD standards, Sony and Toshiba are finally looking at agreeing on a single standard. Of course during these years of fighting, a lot has changed, and many are wondering if content on a plastic disc is still relevant. So, while they may finally agree on a single standard, it's an open question as to whether or not consumers will really care.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

dvds become useless.
i see them sticking around for another 10 years.
VCR's should be dead by now but they are still around and they still work and they still record shows and people don't have to pay huge fees to TIVO to do this.
