Well, it seems sarcasm goes straight over your head.

At the end of the day, it will be what the content providers support
that determines which, if any, format wins in this debacle. My gut
feeling is that neither will *win* as such. Frankly, I don't care as I
have a reasonably large DVD collection and doubt that I will update to
another format.

(Of course, I have been proved wrong in the past, and may be this time.
Be interesting to Google for my comments in two or three years and
see whether I was correct or not.)
