Winner of the format war by default: DVD.

That depends, if it's just LG that does a dual player there will be little impact. If we start counting all the players either HD-DVD or Blu Ray out there including 360 add on and PS3 that is where the momentum will come from. If everyone starts making dual players well then yes chaos - then again many movies will have trouble fitting on HD-DVD. OK Deci lower the bit rate! All the players have had teething problems, this one is about twice as much as anyone else. The Warner and their multi disc's (if single sided are likely to confuse the hell out of it) here comes the first firmware patch. Another interesting thing is most of the HD-DVD world don't seem that enthusiastic nor the BD, it may br rejected by both. No matter what it's going to be an intersting year.
