I still don't get this "war" either. Mass Market acceptance will never happen for Blu-Ray even when HDDVD goes away. Unless DVD goes away or Blu-Ray becomes the same price.
Higher definition isn't going to be enough to get the mass market to switch in my opinion. It took DVD forever to put tapes away and DVD had the advantage of adding dozens of very helpful options like scene selection, extra content and not needing to rewind
