I don't see how this ends it as this is just a media. The real wars will be on what type of players people buy and what media the movie studios use.

Prices are gonna have to drop a whole lot,and the amount of software available is gonna have to improve dramatically,before I spring for any kind of Hi Def DVD.

Wait until consumers find out that players can be disabled retroactively if the movie vendors aren't happy with the integrity of their copy protection.
And what about all those HiDef TVs and monitors that can't play HiDef video from a computer media center? That's gonn sting.

The real point that seems lost on most people is that these guys just doubled the amount of information that can be stored on these disks. What stops them from being able to do more layers? They already have the patent?

A tri-layer disc with a different media format on each layer.
Why not just release a bunch of tri-layer releases of high-density programming (in just one format, HD or Blu-Ray) and see who jumps?
Make multi-format compatible PLAYERS and the consumer will soon decide which format works best for him at home.
