Who wins the real format war: DVD vs. Blu-ray?

Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD was never the real format war. And now the DVD Consortium will try its best to keep DVDs in American homes.

Remember that the vast majority of Americans do not have HDTV's and they are content with the picture quality of the DVD for years and years to come. Maybe Blu-ray will take market share in 2018?

It's just like any other piece of technology that's come out in the past century... When it hits, it's rejected by most. A few waste money on it while it's still expensive. When the prices come down, everyone tries it. It becomes the new standard.

I am not impressed with it yet. My 56-inch RCA has 1080 quality on HD-DVD and Blu-ray. I bought a player, along with a movie that I had seen a few times. I watched it, and back to Wal-Mart went both of them. Maybe once my TV is obsolete and I purchase a 16000p 120-inch nitrous-injected laser TV, it will be worth it.
