In the long-term, there won't be any replication cost differences (if any) between BD and HD DVD. Similarly with hardware cost differences when economies of scale kick in. Toshiba's only chance to cause Studio defection in favor of HD DVD to pre-empt the slow build up of Blu-ray production and maturation of Blu-ray profiles with dirt-cheap players. If they don't accomplish this soon, all the advantages swing in Blu-ray's favor long-term.
