In Reply to: I found this particular format war MOST interesting posted by DavidLD on February 18, 2008 at 05:03:38:
I feel worst for the people who don't come to these types of sites, who would likely assume (and rightly so) that the format wouldn't just dissappear. Particularly those for whom the purchase was perhaps a stretch. Just how long do you keep your obsolete player? Do you continue buying movies? And then what if a few years down the road your player dies...? Is THAT when you cut your losses? At least most who visit sites like this regularly, were aware of the potential failure of their format.
