Any adopter of new technology always runs a risk that it won't stick. After all was there any compensation for betamax users, or even the ill fated laserdisc users, when that stuff fizzled out?

The real question here should be, rather like the betamax vs VHS format battle, is which was technically the best? Has the consumer got a good deal here, or are we being saddled with the "money talks" option?
