I would like it to end this year
agree
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.

the one that will win is the one that gains market share fastest, and it is much more likely to happen with BD
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.
HD-DVD is way closer to BD then DVD on the player front. On the disk side it is closer to DVD, but then again the price difference (replication) is minimal compared to street price. That is why they have the same MRSP and the street price does not seem to be different
