@Techguy1138: You're correct. They both use the same DRM. However, some research shows that Blu-ray REQUIRES DRM on the disc, whereas the HD-DVD format makes it optional. Also HD-DVD have (so-far) not had any region coding on them which means that if you buy an HD-DVD anywhere, it will play for you at home.

And for everyone cheering a Sony victory... seriously? SERIOUSLY?

Is this post helping us as consumers? Or is it just an advertisement for some guy's blog?

BTW - Commentators commentate. That's what they do. I suppose if you're not a subject matter expert, you comment; this then makes you a commenter.

In my area there's a Sea-world advertising New Beetle. It's dressed like a whale. And when I say dresses, I mean on the roof it's got a dorsal fin and on the rear hatch it's got an enormous whale tail.
Every time I see it I'm jealous... Talk about a chick magnet...

As someone who reacts very badly to PI, I will add my voice to the Prednisone camp. It's awesome. And, if you can get a prescription for it, IIRC, triamcinolone which is a topical cream.

HYDE: "There is no gaz shortage man! It's all fake. The oil companies control everything! Like there's this guy who invented this car that runs on water man! It's got fiber glass air cooled engine and it runs on water!"
FEZ: "So it is a boat."
HYDE: "No, it's a car. Only you put water in the gaz tank instead of gaz. And it runs on water man!"

This seems really timely. I've long though (influenced by personal experience) that the best gift you can give a kid going off to college is a good umbrella. Either that or a car, but an Umbrella is a cheaper way to keep the dry on the way to class.
