Most best buy stores already have blu-ray faced with 6 sections, and HD-DVD wrapped around the back.. I'm sure this was paid for by sony, but these are still important key steps in winning a war. I think HD-DVD is going to be around a bit longer mostly because of transformers. If transformers released on both then this would go faster. Also all of the HD-DVD fanboys who are foaming at the mouth and posting youtubes on how "(swear word)(swear word)(swear word) awsome" it is (because swear words are what makes a format great). They will waver poor helpless consumers into choosing the wrong format.
