personally i feel that the computer industry is usually a good indication of what will prevail. A larger share of new computer systems (both laptop and PC) are coming with integrated blue ray players/burners standard or is offered as the only upgrade option.
Larger market saturation = more familiarity and demand = win
oh yea lg has a dual format player for pc’s priced at $230 at best buy right now. regardless of who wins the format war, i’ll be buying one with my tax return plus a 30’ ($40 at new egg) hdmi cable to run to my tv 
didn’t read this whole thread but just saw the post above mine… lol i guess thats a good indication too…
