Lame in 2007: HD Format Wars (#10)
 Lame because: No one wants to get stuck with the format that loses. Who needs high-def DVD, anyway? Regular DVDs still look pretty good, even on HD televisions, and the new HD formats don't make it any easier to watch movies -- a big advantage of DVD over VHS. How to turn it around: The competing camps need to flip a freakin' coin and declare a winner. We don't care who wins, but we refuse to buy a machine that may become a paperweight. Speaking of which, anyone need a Betamax?

Yeah, way to look to the future. If you had a say, we'd still be watching VHS.
Well, heads up sonny...some of us actually love movies and want to see them in the best possible way. Although I agree that I would have liked a single unified format, the statement that "DVD is good enough" is just fucking stupid. It's "good enough" until the better alternative comes along and gains acceptance, at which point it's no longer "good enough", and that's the way new technology is introduced and gradually makes our lives better and easier.
Be ahead of the curve bozo, instead of lagging behind.
