I understand you are hurt with the prospect of consumers having both formats.
$300-$400 for BOTH formats as a full HD experience at $300-$400 is MUCH BETTER then having one unfinished, inferior with features player for $400+.
So yeah, if someone says what's better $400 Blu-Ray/HD DVD player with full specs or $400 Blu-Ray player, I sure ain't gonna tell him Blu-Ray you tool.
When dual format standalones hit $300 this format over is done.
As I said, in both cases, the scale of economy weighs in as consumers want full features for cheap. So it's either $120 for HD DVD player with some compromises or $300-$400 for dual format player with everything. Blu-Ray is nowehere in this equation and the only reason it still exists is because Sony and Panasonic are allowed to grease retailers and studios to stop supporting HD DVD. So much for the merits of the format.
