I'm afraid that Blu-Ray will win, or high-def DVD's will fail all together. As much as I wish HD-DVD would win the format war, the exclusive studios backing Blu-ray control nearly 80% of the Hollywood movies ever made. Just as soon as titles such as James Bond, Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean and Spider-man start coming out exclusively on Blu-ray, and the price of their players drops, HD-DVD will be out-sold rather quickly. With only Universal as lone exclusive backer, HD-DVD can't keep ahead for long. Whicj makes me made, because I'd like to upgrade my DVD player, but I'm not buying into a format that will probably loose, and I'm not spending $1500.00 on a top-rate first-gen player.
