That suck, I knew this would happen a battle over cost. Unlike the Beta/VHS battle with VHS was cheaper and had more record time and low quality. Blue-ray have more storage but a bit more expensive this time I do not think quality is much different since they both use similar compress and encoding.

I like Blue-ray due to the huge storage you can get with it, I hope Sony get smart and figures how to cut the costs. Other wise we all end up with the less common denominator.
