I think that in the end the HD-DVD players will be cheaper to make and cheaper to buy so I'm pulling for HD-DVD. That and every time Sony is involved in a format war they lose. With the PS3 they are losing $300 per machine that is sold but are hoping to recoup the losses because they hold the rights to the discs being produced, so every game that you buy means more money for Sony. Nintendo is similar, but mostly on games that they develop rather than third party developments.
