Will HD-DVD *format* survive Alan's "tipping point"?

I think it can - as a spoiler. Not so much as an official commercial
movie format, but maybe as the blank-disc of choice for data storage /
movie-ripping, DVR next-gen hardware (xXx - the next step).

Maybe this market is where Toshiba will try to stay in the HD game.
Computer HD burners could be the next battleground. Cheap/affordable HD
blank media could be a nice spoiler for the BD juggernaut.
