Electronics industry is going to sock it to the consumer

Well as of yesterday, HD dvd are dead and Blu-ray is the wave of the future.
The disc is certainaly better, it can hold 25 GB on a single layer, vs HD dvd
of only 4.7 GB. But here is the problem, can your current dvd players play
blu-ray?? (I don't know), They are making new players to play blu-ray and
also DVD's. How bout your computer? will it be compatable? (I don't know)

No more analog tv, its all digital next year. You can buy a new TV, Ouch! or
you can buy a converter box. The Govt is handing out 2 coupons per household to help with the cost, although i think you need to sign up for it??

I realize new technoligy is a good a better thing, but for the consumer, this
can really hurt the pocket book.
