Somewhat off-topic but interesting to know which DVD format your kid’s movies will be produced in the near future …

My husband and I have been holding off buying a new video player for quite some time now. We’ve been observing the movie industry and the fight between the next generation of high definition DVD formats: Sony’s Blu-Ray vs Toshiba’s HD-DVD formats. Although the format war has been tipped towards Sony’s Blu-Ray favour, Warner Bros Entertainment Group recently revealed that they will be ditching HD-DVD in favour of Blu-Ray. Needless to say, Warner Bros’ decision is a major blow to Toshiba’s HD-DVD format and pretty much confirms Blu-Ray DVDs will be the format of the future. Warner Bros switch effectively puts more than 70% of Hollywood’s products on Blu-ray.

So if you’re wondering buying a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD player soon, I think I can safely suggest Blu-Ray is the way to go. Here’s an idea for your kid’s birthday present: Sony PlayStation 3. It can play Blu-Ray DVDs too
