Competition works for some things, it isn't working for the format war. Unlike cars, one of the formats will die and those people with that format will be stuck with a dead player and dead format movies. Unlike cars, with the movie format war when you buy into a format you're missing out on about half of the movies released. The price isn't even coming down due to the format war (it's only coming down due to technology being cheaper) so nobody is wining over this (well except DVD).
