As if the alternative having M$ behind it is pro-consumer.

HAVING ONE FORMAT IS NOT A MONOPOLY! You need to at least get a fucking clue about what you are talking about before you go around spewing bullshit.
That said, the irony is that had HD-DVD won the format war, Toshiba would be the lone hardware manufacturer, and THAT my friend is the monopoly.

I didn't really care who won, but I hated the HD-DVD excuse of being "cheaper". We all know how consumer electronics pricing perpetually drops, so price was not really the issue once the format war was over. This has already been shown to be true as Blu-ray hardware is now down to under $300.

I am glad that Blu-ray won for the fact that if we are to be stuck with a format for the next 5-10 years, I sure want the one with the best technical specs. 48mbps audio/video bitrate compared to 30mbps for HD-DVD, 25GB per layer vs 15GB, etc. Now we just need disc prices to come down....

Repeat after me - standards are a good thing. Or maybe you're upset that VHS, Audio CD and DVD are also "monopolies"?
