HD DVD is dead; Blu Ray will lose the war

Sound familiar? As of right now, only videophiles care about HD movies, because there's so little of a benefit from them compared to an upscaling DVD player.

I can see a huge difference between upscaling and Blu-ray movies.  It's not even close. 

There's no more of a difference between upscaling and Blu-ray than there was between VHS and LaserDisc.

I'm not saying that Blu-ray will suffer the same fate as LaserDisc but this isn't a VHS vs. DVD difference we're talking about here. Let's be realistic about it.
