Agreed.....prices will dictate the winner along with titles...

After being in many BB's and Circuit City's these days and seeing whose buying what, I'm seeing folks gravitate a lot of the times towards HD-DVD's for some reason. So I asked; one guy was telling me that he "liked that fact that it seemed like more of the HD-DVD's included DTS tracks". We all have our opinions as to why this may be happening, but we know for sure that it's not the pricing of the media that's the draw for sure. The masses (as I've hashed out before in Hi-rez as an early SACD adopter) will follow titles and prices. We all know Blu-ray's capabilties and in the end it's pricing and availabiltiy. I for one am very slow at buying disc's @ $29.99 and $34.99 reminicent of the early days of DVD. As for the DVD sales, it's obvious they're going to make an exit, look at the pricing $9.99 and lower for many good titles and HD TV set having been selling in record numbers. I'm sure it will take a while however, some are still watching VHS.
