IMO, whoever can get their price down so that the average consumer can afford it will win the race.

This changes everything. Now there is no hope for HD-DVD

Personally i'd rather see then both coexist. Keep blu-ray around for computers, that'd be a great option for backing up the data on your hard drive, but keep the more affordable HD-DVD around for movies and such. I'm not sure which will win, but if HD-DVD had more companies backing it i'm sure it would beat sony simply because it's cheaper. The average consumer that goes to walmart to buy something like this will probably look more at the price than anything. I'll be interesting to see which one wins, but i'm in the market for a player so i wish they'd just hurry up and decide already.

I was rooting for HD-DVD in the beginning because I own and love my Xbox 360. So that would naturally be my primary choice.
But, now that Blockbuster has chosen Blu-Ray, that is a HUGE blow to HD-DVD and something that will definitely put Blu-Ray way more ahead then it already was.

i hate block buster, too many stupid fees, but then again i have a local movie rental place where i can get new releases for 2 bucks and all old movies for 1 or 2 bucks depending on dvd or vhs. No membership fees. You can't get any better than that. Not to mention on all older movies you can keep them for a week.

I agree with you on that, but I am siding with Blu-Ray not so much because I like Blockbuster but because it will have such a major impact on the HD War that I think many more movie studios will side with Blu-Ray now.

Boy did they bet on the wrong horse. The HD-DVD is just crappy rip off of the blu-ray.
