An interesting tidbit regarding Blu-ray vs HD-DVD

----- HDTV Magazine Tips List -----


There was an interview with one of the MS executives(I don't remember which
one). He stated that if HD-DVD did fail they would be able to make an
external Blu-Ray drive to replace the HD-DVD drive. But their plans right
now were only for adding an HD-DVD drive. He said since it was external they
would not be locked into one format if/when there is a format winner.
