Disney and Columbia TriStar have gone for 50GB Blu-Ray (no surprise as one's owned by Sony).
Paramount, Universal and Warner Bros have opted for the 30GB HD-DVD.
Apparently it's all going to be decided by whichever format the porn industry decides it likes the most.

Yeah, but still, VHS is a dying format.

VHS to DVD - big step in quality and no rewind malarky.
The only advantage I can imagine this new format having is for holding series.
I can see it sort of taking over, but VERY slowly.
Basically, pure DVD players get phased out over the next 3-4 years and get replaced by these new ones, that play old DVD's as well.
And these old DVD's gradually get phased out the same way...
But I still don't see a point in these new ones other than recording purposes.

Better to use for TV series DVD's yes.
Playing a standard movie off VHS and rewinding's hardly a pain.
Then again I can be bothered to get up off the sofa/couch and move unlike many.

Yeah, and you can pause the alleyway scene in spiderman with better clarity.
Nah, it's because DVD is much better to use.
You can jump to exactly what you want to watch without any rewind/fast forward crap, that's why CDs took over from tapes.
