Atari 2600 with built-in Betamax!

Randy steered me toward my first PlayStation eleven years ago, and I was an early adopter of the PS2 seven years ago, but when the PS3 launched recently, I passed. It was too expensive for what I wanted, which was a game system, plain and simple. I wasn't going to pay a premium for a Blu-ray player that could go the way of the Betamax, the big loser the last time Sony got involved in a format war.

But it appears that the latest war is over, and this time, Sony is the winner. Time to get a PS3! And time to start buying movies in Blu-ray format.

Oh, I won't be in the business of replacing my DVDs. Just switching to the new format going forward.

Isn't that going to drive you crazy, having movies in two different formats?
