    DVDActive has posted the fronts and backs of several soon-to-be-released (or not so soon) Blu-ray and HD-DVD titles so you know what color boxes to look for when they hit stores. The most interesting development is that despite rumors to the contrary, all the HD-DVD movies posted state they are formatted in 1080p.

    Even though most of us don't have 1080p TVs yet and the initial HD-DVD players will max out at 1080i, those concerned about "future proofing" their next generation DVD collection may still have an option in HD-DVD.

    I've experienced High Definition already and am not likely to buy into this fiasco. Who wants to spend another $900 on a "Betamax like" boat anchor?

    That is unless they promise to replace the player (and BD discs) if the format fails.

    as I was going through the new releases on their site this morning, 2 of them (I can't remeber which titles, as they didn't interest me) you had the option to choose format -- so I guess that means they will start renting them this Tuesday.

    Blu ray and HD=DVD will use Blue lasers while current DVDs use Red Laser, so they wont be playable in current dvd players.
