HDDVD may be buying time...but 18 months is a LOT of time.

I don't see either side winning out here.

Thinking about Joe and Jane Consumer. If you bought movies on VHS, then bought them again on DVD, are you REALLY going to want to buy them a 3rd time?

Well, not now, like five or six years after DVD really took off.

I do agree with you there. I definitely see how this "war" could end up being like the DVD-Audio/SACD war of a few years ago. Both just ended up as very niche formats for audiophiles. Regular CDs and iTunes downloads prevailed through that war because it's kind of hard to enjoy the increased fidelity and surround sound that DVD-A and SACD provide while walking down a noisy street and listening to a 128 kbps mp3 of the source material on your junky iPod earbuds.

Wait a minute...I JUST AGREED WITH PHOENIX!!

I have noticed it watching DVDs lately.

They've been Blu Ray only for a long while now, even before the two formats launched.
