I like this quote:

"Apple, Dell, HP, Hitachi, LG, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Pioneer, Philips,
Samsung, Sharp, TDK, Thomson, Twentieth Century Fox and
Walt Disney... have already declared their collective love for Sony’s
Blu-ray."

Apparentlythey thawed Walt's head long enough to get a thumbs-up
from the big man himself.

The real clue to Blu-Ray's possible edge is this though:

"Blu-ray will come as standard on the PlayStation 3 which is expected to
lead
to market (Sony apparently swallows an extra $100 per machine to
incorporate it)."

With it incorporated into PS3, what's going to happen is that a lot of
consumers are going to have a Blu-Ray player in the house almost
by default, while getting a HD-DVD player would be a seperate
decision. The PS2 was for a lot of people their first DVD player as well.
