I'd rather be a wrong pessimist than a wrong optimist. I really believe BD is the (far) superior format, but that doesn't guarantee a "win". You and Crosis bring up good and valid points, I just have a nagging suspicion that HD-DVD may still come out on top. In general, consumers are stupid. You see "Blue-Ray Disc" next to "HD-DVD" and Joe Average isn't gonna know what either one is, but he'll (possibly) be able to infer that "HD-DVD" is some kind of new DVD format. (Maybe even be so stupid as to buy an HD-DVD thinking it'll play in a regular DVD player).
