I won't need to have both Blu-Ray and HDDVD. We are not quite there, but I think this will be more like the Flash Memory war. Memory Stick, SD, MiniSD, etc all coexist peacefully. If you buy a Sony camera it will have a Memory Stick, just about everything else is a variant of SD. It will probably be that all Sony stuff runs Blu-Ray while everything else is pretty much HDDVD. It won't matter to us since we will not be buying discs with content on them.

You said we'd be burning the disc's ourselves in a few years. How would one format win eventually? or is there not going to be a winner? I enjoyed your take on Blu-ray HDDVD.
