The high-definition DVD war is all but over, according to most industry analysts attending the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas last week. In perhaps the most important “big picture” news of the convention (with apologies to Panasonic and its 150-inch plasma screen), Warner Brothers may have cast the deciding vote by opting to offer its titles on Blu-ray disc over the HD DVD format.

I own both HD DVD and Blu-ray players. By far HD DVD provides better functionality then Blu-ray. I am very disappointed in how much I paid for blu-rry

Since when is it "better" to have one company hold the keys to a consumer technology (like Hi-def Discs)? because of economies of scale, I can go buy 10 DVD players (generic) for $400.... now... I'll have to buy 1 Bluray player for $500...
Betamax died because it was tied to a single company's bottom line... and too many restrictions..
I find it hard to believe that people will care about HD Bluray for $500 when they can get HD-DVD for $99... I say keep going with non-proprietary standards!

Blu-ray Disc is NOT proprietary.
It's just better...
