When there's this much push from so many industry heavyweights, losing
is seldom the final result...either Blu-ray or HDDVD will win, it will
simply be a matter of time. This is not simply 1 or 2 companies pushing
it - you've got everyone pushing the move to HD.

I'm one with the blu-ray will win crowd simply because of the greater
number of studios on that side and the greater capabilities of the
Blu-ray disc and players/recorders - for that much money, you go with
quality.

And I'm supposed to bow to what Inquirer says?
