But experts are not the ones that choose which format wins this war. It's the consumers. Maybe I've got
Tipping Point on the brain, but one of these formats needs something to push it over the edge. Now I've only very loosely followed these formats. But for all intensive purposes they are basically in a tie. One isn't dominating yet. You may disagree, but why are their movies that I can only buy in HD-DVD and others in Blu-Ray? Clearly one hasn't taken over. It's interesting that you saw the cheap Toshiba players as a product "dump" I saw it the complete opposite. Mass produce your new product and sell it on the cheap to get more people to buy your format. The more people that have your product will buy your format. I'm not buying a Blu-Ray player for several hundred dollars when I can buy a HD one for $100. But back to my original point. One of these products needs something to push it ahead of it's competition. I've haven't seen anything yet for either product, but maybe this cheap player will be that tipping point for HD-DVD.
