To the people who say the war is decided by the people...Blue Ray disks are out selling HD-DVD disks 2 to 1. Blue Ray wins
To people saying "I may still get a HD-DVD player" for this reason or that, Don't! Think back to the 80s. If you had bought a BataMax when it was clear that they would loose so that you could still record you TV shows in "better quality than VHS", you would have looked silly when you could no longer buy blank BataMax tapes.
Lets face it, it two years when you can't buy a HD-DVD in any configuration (movie, blank recordable, etc), what good is any HD-DVD thinger going to be. Great, you can watch your old HD-DVD movies you already watched. Watch them over and over and over. Woopee. Now you need a Blue-Ray Player for all you new movies, pluse the VHS player for you old movies, and that BataMax player that you fooleshly bought when that war was ending for the even older movies, and the Super8 film projector for all your old home movies. Come on now. There is not logical reason to buy a HD-DVD player, or computer drive now that it is obvious that that format is dying. I know that you hate Sony, and love HD-DVD (only because it is in your beloved XBox360), but get over it. Face the facts.
5 years from now the only movies you will be able to buy/rent will be Blue-Ray, and whatever the even newer format that they will come up with is. No HD-DVD, no VHS, no BataMax, just Blue-Ray. That is it. Over, done.
