My claim was more to the clear winner in price, not the format war. Sony's license fees are far more than Toshiba, just look at the players. Which is where my licesnse fee comment was directed. Should have been more specific. HD DVDs can be made on existing DVD production lines with minimal modifications. Blu-ray requires mostly new equipment and will take years of inflated prices before they reduce the price because they "recouped" the cost. I should have been specific earlier, I was making a general comment that covered a couple different areas. It's simple economics, Blu-ray is and will be more expensive for the forseeable future. I would be all for keeping blu-ray around as a high-end storage media for PCs, but keep it out of my living room. Is HD DVD the answer, probably not, but is more friendly to the consumer, especially in the pocketbook.

"Sony's license fees are far more than Toshiba, just look at the players."

Yeah, i bet you know that!

So far Blu-ray is cheaper per GB. At the time when hd dvd prices get down Blu-ray will have been used @ its low prices for years... After that ... who knows.
