Slowly but surely they're all backing away from their initial claims Blu-ray were a cert for the win.

Sub $200 then $150 and soon enough $100 HD DVD players from China are going to render even these stalemate estimates wrong.

That and all the HD DVD studios moving to 'Twin' disc production (which will see movie disc prices fall).

Meanwhile the kids game console format will sell a few more game consoles and get some additional movie disc sales out of it.
Big deal.

HD DVD is closing in on the much larger adult a/v market.
Blu-ray is not.

Blu-ray is the PS3 kid's game console format.
It's just PSP & UMD all over again - with a little PC burner activity added into the mix.

You consider a PS3 a �kid�s game console�.


What a Wii considered?......Toddler?

I couldn't agree more.
BR is ahead now, but IMO, Toshiba has this war one as soon as the Chinese made HD DVD players hit the market in volume.
DVD players will become a thing of the past when HD DVD players are consistently under $100 and have international market saturation, and that scenario should only be a matter of months. Realistically this war could and should be over by next year.
Also, personally i hope fony loose because I have a problem with a manufacturer trying to force me to pay inflated prices for an inferior product by withholding content.
