maybe neither will succeed and we will see the next gen after blue ray or HDDVD as the standard and universal format

Michael: Jodie, how's my schedule look for today?
Jodie: You've got a conference and dinner party at the Japanese Embassy regarding wildlife protection.
Michael: Oh, yeah...sorry, but I'll have to cancel that. I'm heading out to save America!

I'm behind Blu-Ray. It seems to be the superior format with 50GB/disc and possibly 100GB on four layers to come. But most importantly "Blu-Ray" is a lot easier to say than "Aitch Dee Dee Vee Dee"!! 
But you guys are also talking about pre-recorded (and DRMed) movies. I guess HDDVD may win out there... I don't care.
I just hope Blu-Ray hangs around for storage (and for us to burn0rize our HD VC-1 encoded nonDRMed movies'n'music!) But having spent AU$700 for my first 1x DVD burner (and AU$140 for my 2nd 12x burner), I'll be waiting until I can get a versatile (like Region free Lite-On style) and fast Blu-Ray drive for under AU$100, and when the discs are reasonably priced (and have a good shelf life).
For the moment, DVD is pretty ... good!

Its not who a person is in the inside, but what he does that defines him.

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty.
