Right now, it's anyone's guess.  I'd rather see blueray win out as it should be able to at least read HDDVD disks (even if a flash update may be required), which HDDVD can't say about blueray. 

Also, I've started seeing writeable media for the blueray disks now... and let me tell ya, that's some cool s*** right there...that's a lot of space on a single disk. 

And as pissed off as I am at sony for their recent lack of quality construction (why is the rubber sheathing disintegrating on my $90earbuds?), I really do hope blueray wins.

You think I fail at the interweb? You should see where I am in the office hockey pool right now <_< (Try 52nd out of 52 entries total)

If Blu-Ray can in fact read HD-DVD disks with as little as a FlashROM update that is a huge point in its favour (Though it better be a bulletproof upgrade, 'cause I've done my fair share of FlashROM upgrades, PC BIOS'etc. PITA doesn't begin to describe it :ph34r: )

What capacities for A/V are those disks? To be sucessful as a read/write device I think it would have to offer at least as much as a VCR does at the longest setting (6hrs using normal tapes) to have a real chance of sucess with eh general public.

Really? I'm actually impressed so far with the new Sony camera I picked up (You saw it at the cruise) much more solid construction that the Canon digital my dad picked up (The Canon has lots of flimsy rubber covers for things that are gonna break off/flake off, long before anything on the Sony lets go)
