Adding weight to the notion that two high-definition DVD formats may co-exist, leading manufacturer Thomson today announced that it would manufacture HD DVD-compatible discs as well as Blu-ray versions in its Technicolor division. The company, however, took a step closer to NEC and Toshiba’s HD DVD camp, saying it would manufacture players for that format under the RCA and Thomson brands. Thomson is clearly playing both sides of the coin.
If both thecnologies may coexist, why bother on who is going to win.... Anyway for the sake of "add" something... I think; the one with backward compatibility will prevail. I'm sure no to be the only guy with 300+ current DVD.
