Let this play out, give both sides a chance to work out their differences and reach a political settlement; this 'surge' is in the public's interest. The worst thing that could happen is for one side or the other to win outright! Hey, before this format war got started I was in the one format camp, and I still feel that we should never have gotten into a format war in the first place, but now that we're there, do you honestly think we should pull out rapidly leaving early adopters with the bill? ;0)
Seriously, right now competition is driving software and hardware prices down and with the prospect of cheaper dual format players on the horizon the whole format war may just die of it's own accord over several years. The only folks hurting from overlapping releases are brick and mortar businesses with limited shelf space; format wars are never dual inventory friendly.
