I still think Blu-Ray will win the format war eventually. Sony, MGM, Disney, and Fox probably acount for about 90% of my favorite movies, with Warner Bros. and Paramount picking up most of the rest. Universal is the only studio not supporting it, and if the launch in May has any strength at all behind it, Uni will cave.
But Sony/MGM and Fox don't look like they're anywhere near supporting HD DVD. I'll get Samsung's Blu-Ray player in May. If by some weird fluke HD DVD DOES become the new format standard, by then the players should be about what a good DVD player costs now, and I'll get one then. But I really don't think that's going to happen...
