The winner will be the one that is cheapest to mass produce, offloading the savings to the consumer in as quick a manner. So far HDDVD is poised for that.
I don't see how SONY has a chance. HDDVD uses the same factories and the "CORE" difference between the DVD and HDDVD is the laser.
We're waiting till SONY starts producing the HDDVD players then jumping in.
