The good news is that prices have dropped to under $500 for players and under $35 for the discs. Not so good is that the format war between Blu-ray and HD DVD is still in its middle rounds so you might want to wait for the dust to clear on that one. A reasonable compromise and one the kids will love you for would be one of the latest gaming systems such as the Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) and Microsoft Xbox 360 which support high-definition video playback at 1080i or 1080p. r if your desktop or laptop computer has a digital video interface (DVI) or HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) output and a video card that can output at 1920 by 1080 pixels then you can surf the Web or complete that Powerpoint presentation in glorious 1080p. Finally the latest generation of digital camcorders is also capable of recording and playing back in high definition. The handheld Sanyo HD1000 is a marvel in miniaturization recording high definition video (1080i) and 4-megapixel still images to a Secure Digital card – and for well under $1000. For full 1080p – the digital videographer’s holy grail – you have to step up the Sony HVR-V1U which will set you back about $4000… Not so good is that the format war between Blu-ray and HD DVD is still in its middle rounds so you might want to wait for the dust to clear on that one.
