So have blu streak roughly won the format period of war?
Answers: I don't approaching the idea of Blu-ray "winning" (the misleading advertizing and arrogance associated near Blu-ray turned me off relative to the relative integrity of the HD DVD campaign) but it is within the interest of (almost) everyone that there be one format for HD disks.
I suspect that other studios will lawfully quickly drop HD DVD and convert to Blu-ray but for already doing so.
The issues in my vision are not whether Blu-ray will be "THE" HD disk format (it clearly will) -- but what will happen near prices, what comes after Blu-ray and will any of it replace DVD (or simply coexist.
It has be assumed that Blu-ray manufacturers hold been losing a bundle on promoting Blu-ray. Will they bring to the fore prices on hardware? Drop incentive programs like free disks near new players? Raise prices on disks?
As consumers we enjoy a lot to thank the HD DVD military camp for in vocabulary of low costs ... but without competition recouping losses may be a bribe.
Also where to from here. Have you noted that Sony HDTVs are building contained by xvYCC colour space and 10 bit colour support ... while initially it will probably be video games that utilize this extra capability a replacement for Blu-ray (or extension of the standard) isn't far away (8 bit colour and BT709 colour space are standard for Blu-ray). This may be a "simple" extension of Blu-ray technology, but you can be sure Sony enjoy plans to take power of the capability they are building into their hardware (assuming content is produced to support it).
Finally, just 38% of US households are predicted to have HDTVs by the conclusion of 2008. And only a fraction of these will allow the benefits fo Blu-ray to be realize (most are 720p models well below 40", and many don't hold HDMI connectivity). A majority of even those with HDTVs are expected to resist the premium prices for HD disks. so the possibility of Blu-ray disks replacing DVD before HD download and VOD services are a viable popular alternative to HD disks, or video holographic disks (or other technology) arrives, appears unlikely. In other words Blu-ray is likley to remain a niche format with DVD as the primary disk medium for a long time to come.
You got it........
