this was many pages back but someone wrote that HD-DVD would be MS' format for their next console. that's crazy considering there's no one manufacturing it anymore or doing development work on the format.
japan (sadly/apparently not crazy about HD gaming) sees BD beating out DVD in recorders (over 50% this year compared to 10% last year): http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=74197
the format isn't dead and it's gaining popularity. it's sacrifice play for the gaming market is questionable, but for home theatre it was a homerun.
