I hate to break it to you but the Bluray vs Hd-DVD "war" is irrelevant it is now a war between physical distribution vs electronic distribution. All the physical media will soon go the way of the dodo.
You need the bandwidth to do that, and most American's still don't have it. They also said paper would go away with the advent of computers, well, we all know how that turned it ;) I'm sure electronic will eventually take over, but you're talking a while here, DVD is here to stay for a while.

i agree, but that is still 5 years away from being a truly mainstream happening.
Probably more than 5, and then you have millions who still won't be able to get the speeds needed to download this kind of content. DVD's work in ANY location, and I see no lack of demand for them. The amount of HD and Blu Ray in the stores is still TINY compared to the amount of regular DVD's, and the prices for HD and BluRay is still a lot more than DVDs. Let's be honest here too, this is a technically oriented forum, the majority of people probably don't even know about Blu Ray or HD DVD, and are happy with standard DVD's. I'm waiting until the whole war is finished before I sink any money into this new medium, besides.

(January 4, 2008 - Burbank, CA) - In response to consumer demand, Warner Bros. Entertainment will release its high-definition DVD titles exclusively in the Blu-ray disc format beginning later this year, it was announced today by Barry Meyer, Chairman & CEO, Warner Bros. and Kevin Tsujihara, President, Warner Bros.

How about HD and Blu Ray DVD format war going on now?
The problem is the demand for DVDs themselves. Some analysts believe that while Blu-Ray may be winning the battle with HD DVD to be the next generation DVD format, neither will win the war, since future consumers will probably choose to download their movies and transport them on memory disk. "They know this is a dying business," said Berenberg Bank analyst Thomas Wissler
