Jeremy and I were cruising around the nether regions of CES and next to the Chinese circuit board companies and Roomba knock-offs, we came across the HD-FVD booth. Talk about a dark-horse. If HD-DVD is to VHS, as Blu-Ray is to Beta, then what the heck is HD-FVD. Their library is pretty, pretty, pretty impressive. They had titles ranging from “caterpillar on leaf” to … wait for it … “ladybug on leaf.” Check out this video taken in the booth where Jeremy and I had a little fun.

Not convinced? Read the specs…

See that? There at the bottom of the chart. The huge differentiator. Price: Low.

    That is so not right, but thanks for the laugh! ;) I’m glad the price will be “low.”
