Hey.
I'm also waiting for the winner, but Toshiba and Sony invested soooooo much money in this War of the Formats that its practicly impossible for one of them to give up.

IMO the future belongs to:
1 - hybrid players
2 - veeery cheap, one format players so you could buy both of them
3 - another format like holographic discs

In my opinion the wor between Blu-ray and HD DVD can not be won by any of the sides.

Best regards,
Rizzon.

You are correct. Neither of these formats can win. For a look into the future, let us peer across the pacific at Japan and Korea.

100Mb/s internet will be the format that wins, with the help of perpendicular recording SATA drives, which will start seeing sizes of 1 TB for desktops in the mainstream market soon.

Until we hit 3d storage, HD optical formats don't have a leg to stand on. Certainly not DRM. I'm going to boycott both.
