I've been rooting against it, hoping HD DVD will win instead. It's definitely been on the fence for a while, as it looked like the pricing of the players themselves might help snuff out the momentum for this technology... however, seems like lately it's picking up plenty of steam as the player prices drive down and people get more and more into the high definition technologies...
Personally, I'm waiting for the time where we laugh at the days we used to actually need a big bulky player to put discs into in order to watch movies. I can sooooo see the future where it's all handled through wifi type downloads direct to the tv minus the need for any external hardware (other than maybe a backup drive).
Now *that* would be sweet.
Until then... I still hope blu-ray fails. I don't care for something that is so proprietary to one machine or one company.
