Aye, agreed.  I wasn't the purchasing power in the house when Beta vs. VHS was happening, though I remember it well.  But when it came down to HDDVD vs. Blu-Ray, I was rooting for HDDVD, but wasn't willing to purchase until there was a towel thrown in.  Once Blu-Ray was the clear winner, then I started reluctantly adopting the technology.
