OK, it is not over as long as there are HD-DVD discs being manufactured, but in the minds of Blu-ray owners other than Universal deciding to support Blu-ray, what else is there?

I keep reading posts by those who support HD-DVD say that if Blu-ray doesn't do X, Y, and Z there is cause for concern. 'Scuse me? Blu-ray already has the manufacturer support HD-DVD doesn't. With the exception of Universal, full studio support. Player prices that reflect the market. A game machine that supports both Blu-ray and DVD without the need of an add-on. More storage space. Great video quality from MPEG-2(Yes, MPEG-2), AVC, and VC-1. Uncompressed audio, HD-Extras...The list goes on and on..

Seriously. It is time for HD-DVD to put up or shut up. HD-DVD has nothing on Blu-ray at present. Go into AVS now and all you will see are posts from people who just bought in, title announcements from all studios, and questions from those who want to buy in. HD-DVD has suffered it worse month. It is not going to get better any time soon unless something major happens at CES. Let them have their inferior format. Blu-ray has nothing to worry about.
