Default Is it all about the "Magic Number"?
Following all the recent news, it seems that the determination of the "victor" in this format war seems to be "who's going to hit the magic number first".

In an interview, Paramount's CTO basically said that the movie, $150 million aside, was because HD-DVD was going to be the cheaper format and cheaper means that it will be the winner (I'm over-simplifying and paraphrasing).

Forget the larger capacity, he doesn't need it.

BD-J? Too complicated, might have bugs, HDi is more than enough.

Maybe the Blu-ray camp maybe should consider taking a page out of Microsoft's playbook, log in a 4th quarter expense of a few million and sell BD players below cost of manufacture today for $199.
