is the new video format heading your way.. since "conventional" dvd isn't actually a high defintion medium. It was designed for conventional tv sets and is a lower res than HDTVs are capable of. So HD-DVD or Blu-Ray will be the next video medium, i guess they are fighting it out now. I guess I am rooting for Blu-Ray because HD-DVD is "owned" by MICROSOFT.

And yeah, you're going to have get a new played to play these.
