How about VHS and Beta Max all over again with the emerging Hi Def DVD
formats.

These folks love to hate each other and, in the process, screw the
consumer over until there is no tomorrow.

There is a real chance consumers will react to both with a big yawn.

Home videotape recording was a revolutionary product that everyone wanted.
On the other hand, the new DVD formats offer so small an increment in
display quality over a good 480-P player on an HDTV screen, I think few
people will care enough to upgrade. At least they can afford to wait and
see which new format survives.
