Dvd formats reach an agreement

It seems that Sony has won the battle over formatting for the hd dvd format. Sony's Blu-ray technology has been chosen by a number of large retailers over the Toshiba system. We went through a similar problem when video tape formats were introduced. You have the Sony Beta format and the Vhs format developed by JVC corp. At this time the dvd format is so new there should be little or no problem for those who have already purchased the products.
