I remember all too well the days at the local video store in Crowfoot, "Flicks" and seeing the VHS and Beta racks...one section for each (and the 'special' section behind swinging doors

). Sad to see it'll come down to that again.

Ultimtimately, whatever gets embraced by the market will be what I go for, technical superiority is one thing but if I can't get media for it what good is it? PS3 / Blu ray will have a huge advantage with respect to this.

Really though, I'd like to see things progress to an all digital format, no more going to video stores, just distribution via the net. Bandwidth would have to be vastly improved though.
