It is not over yet. But if it is it will be a shame. I am sure the average consumer cannot wait to pay for a more expensive player that does less. I would like to see HD-DVD win so HD players would have been in more homes (cheaper price). In turn we would see studios putting out titles quicker. I cannot wait to see how much Blu-Ray disks will be when there is only one format. Oh in case you are wondering I am not bashing I have both.
