HD DVD vs Blu-ray: An end in sight? Nope not yet

Blu-ray vs HD DVD

We know there is nothing more fun than predicting a winner to the latest format war, but this is starting to get out of hand. We have come to expect this sort of thing from Sony and their friends, but now the New York Post is putting in their two cents and we're not sure what has changed recently that would make them pronounce that "retailers will pull the plug on HD DVD sometime next year". As much as we would like to see an end to the format war, that isn't going to happen until one of the two formats cease to release any movies. Although HD DVD hasn't released many movies this month, they started with quite a lead over Blu-ray and at this point we don't see Warner and especially not Universal, stopping anytime soon. To give you some perspective on this opinion, the writer also mentions that LG's universal player will be out some time this year.
