This fight is stupid. Neither side will back down and that just means that any large scale adoption of a new format is still a long ways off. Personally, I think this fight is no where near over (unless one side is running out of money).
Still if the Audio wars SACD or DVD-Audio were any indication, most consumers care more about convenience than quality which is why MP3 won the day. Could the same thing happen here? Will those pushing for Vidoe-On-Demand catch up to the point where people could care less about going out and "buying" a disc?

Perhaps this fight will only produce losers.
