[T]he six major studios were evenly split between the Blu-ray technology backed by Sony Corp. and HD DVD supported by Toshiba Corp.
Both formats deliver movies in sharp high-definition and can store more data than traditional DVDs, which will allow them to offer interactive features such as games.
But the formats are incompatible and will force consumers to choose one over the other, a potentially costly decision if one format ultimately wins in the marketplace, the case when VHS defeated Betamax for home video in the 1980s.
Sorry--I made the transition to from vinyl to CD, and from VHS to DVD. I'm done transitioning to new formats. Until movie studios offer upgrade pricing, I'll pass.
