We've had the VHS - Betamax - Video2000 war. Who won? VHS, the most crappy system of the 3.
We've had DCC versus MiniDisk. Who won? Euhh... recordable CD, I guess.

(My MiniDisk player is collecting dust in the stereo rack. If anyone's intersted...)
Now it's the BluRay - HD-DVD conquest. Apparently BluRay is winning. It's not important who wins, but from a commercial and consumer point of view it's important that there is a winner as soon as possible. Not that I'm bothered at the moment, but prices will drop and availability will increase if all vendors head in the same direction. For now I'm quite happy with my HD (harddisk) - DVD combination.
