Blueray wins.

Blockbuster has chosen blueray as the default format in their stores. HD-DVD is second. When the video rental chains pick a format, its over. Beta died in part because video stores only rented out the most popular of the two formats. For once in a long time, Sony has won a format war. This time, they took out Microsoft. I think Walmart is going to be very upset with their huge order of HD-DVD players for this Christmas season.
