With Christmas around the corner I have started looking at all the things I don't need but really, really want. A couple of months ago I bought an HD TV and armed it with an HD TiVo. I promised myself (and my wife) that I would stop there but secretly knew that a regular SD DVD player was an embarrassing item to have in my entertainment center. In my search for more HD goodness, I started looking at HD DVD players and Blu-Ray players. I have always hated the idea of using a format created by Sony because of the cost to the consumer (ie, PlayStation Memory Cards) so my searching was more HD DVD oriented. Today I found the one feature that beats Blu-Ray one million times to one.

That's right. Season One of the Original Star Trek in HD. Only available in HD DVD format. What more could you possibly need to convince you that HD DVD is the format to have?
