Can I just say, there are a crazy amount of video games that have been released lately that I want to play?
Inq. of the Week: Video Formats?
We seem to be at an interesting crossroads when it comes to movies and video formats, with Blu-ray beating out HD DVD I assumed everything would transition over pretty quickly but it still seems that regular DVDs are the primary format for people watching movies at home.
