Another Sony format about to be marginalized.

I wonder if either of these HD formats will catch on near-term. I predict a major outrage and 
perhaps outright rebellion among "da folks" when NTSC TV really gets switched off. Sure, everyone in 
certain elite groups now has a flat-panel HD television, but most of the rest of us don't and don't 
want to spend thousands to replace the TV's in our house simply because someone is hyping an 
allegedly better boob-tube.
