Looks like it may be the case.  If so, it'll be a good thing; Blu-Ray is technologically the better of the two competing formats, by a significant margin.  The main attraction of HD-DVD is a smaller initial capital outlay for the equipment to press the discs.

The other main attraction of HD-DVD, at least to me, is that It's Not Sony. I'm currently not a big fan of Sony given their arrogance about the PS3 and the Sony rootkit debacle. When it comes to the latter, it's that they put DRM on their CD's in the first place, they chose a crappy solution, and they were incredibly arrogant in their response to the initial complaints.

Perhaps someday Sony will return to my good graces. For the time being, I try hard not to have anything to do with them. Of course I don't have any kind of HD disc player though I do have an Xbox 360 and have contemplated purchasing the add-on HD-DVD drive.

I can't argue with that. Sony has become a greedy, grasping company that cares nothing about its customers and just wants more money by any means.

Blu-Ray, however, is not just Sony.
