In case you didn't know...

Well, as in the '80s with the likes of Betamax and VHS, HDDVD and Blu-Ray are set to come out relatively soon and with it the 'format wars'. Sony lost out last time (for those of you who have been asleep this past 20 years) so it'll obviously not want to miss out again.

Blue-Ray will be featuring in Sony's next gen console, the ps3, however Microsoft who are backing HDDVD have left as hddvd player out of their 360 console, a blunder?

My mate at school knows more than me about this sorta stuff and he brought out the following points, are they correct/do you agree?

Betamax was a better format
It only lost because the porn industry backed VHS
There's another, less known format, that my come out to be on top.
Nobody gives a c**p about whats in the consoles.

So what do you think we'll be watching our movies on in a couple of years time? Discussion thread for future formats. Also a prediction poll.
