We're talking about the next generation of DVD here, not some proprietary format that can only be used on one machine. The two candidates are Blu-Ray and HDDVD and if they do the right thing then only one will be chosen, since having two competing formats would do no one any good. The one with the highest capacity is the only choice that should be considered, for picture quality reasons, and the fact that PS3 is using it pretty much tells us which one will win out. They aren't going to go with the format if they didn't already know it would become the single standard. I could care less about the initial cost. I demand quality picture, and the more GB the better.
