I love how the "format war" was won with back room deals and agreements by massive corporations, as opposed to the consumers choosing which was better.
Look at the sales figures! Not including the PS3 the far more expensive BR hardware is selling at a 2x faster pace than HD-DVD hardware. The consumer made this decision. Add in the PS3 and HD-DVD didn't stand a chance without Microsoft's help in the Xbox 360.
