Blu-ray or HD-DVD? For Mark Cuban, it’s no dilemma.

August 30th, 2006

Dallas Mavericks-owning, HDNet-founding billionaire Mark Cuban offers a homebrew solution to the high-definition DVD format wars:

“I would buy a $399 PC and connect it to my HDTV and buy and play all the Windows Media HD Content out there. And then I would buy a DVR from my provider and hack it to add a terabyte drive and record everything and anything. But that’s me.

“If I had a beautiful home theater that I used to impress my friends, I would buy HD-DVD today and wait till the dual-use boxes came out to upgrade to them.”
