This feels like 1998 to me, as I do remember holding off buying a DVD player that year as the DVD/DIVX war was in full swing that year. Finally in June 1998, DIVX folded its tents, I bought a DVD player that summer, and in 1999-2000, the 'A' titles starting coming out in droves on DVD. If all goes well with this decision by Warner Brothers, I will buy a BluRay player this summer, and by Christmas this year, hopefully we get to see a couple of 'A' titles come out that were probably held up cause of the format war. I think a true gauge would be to see an Indy Boxset of all 4 movies released on BluRay in the fall, as that would put Spielberg/Lucas in that camp, and then we can start enjoying movies in 1080i.
