It appears to me to be a fight between charlie cheap ass on the red side and cutting edge technology on the Blu side. Take these red boys back 40 years and they'd be telling us Black and White was cheaper and better, no one really needs color TV. hd-DVD is simply a minor upscaling of old existing technology with a few interactive (useless) bells and whistles but no room for improvment. The next generation of media is Blu-Ray and the only choice if you want the format to evolve. (which it will with or without the support of the cheapskates or under funded)

Watch what you say. HD DVD camp may actually try that and seriously reconsider this whole "color" thing, and they may try to go back 40 years and only support black and white technology. You never know what "bright" ideas they may try next.
