....at least we got to experience a major format war in our lives...
I already experienced Beta vs. VHS, and also chose the wrong side on that one! But at least then, almost all Pinoys chose wrong...

I'm not too wrecked about the new developments, since at $140 with 5 free discs, my Toshiba HD DVD player was practically free... and I was really in the market for an upscaling DVD player, anyway. That was actually the reason I bought one after already deciding to wait out the format war for a while longer - considering the free discs, it was actually much cheaper than the upscaling Philips SD DVD player that I was intending to buy locally.
So... my player's not exactly a paperweight, just yet. It still serves a function for me!
I'm actually more annoyed with Paramount, since had it not been for their HD DVD shift, I would've bought a PS3 many months ago.
