The big mistake was Microsoft not making the HD DVD drive a standard part of the XBOX360.
Too bad; I was hoping they'd survive until dual format players became the norm. I've seen two announcements of inexpensive reference designs for dual format player chipsets. LG has a dual format computer drive that's cheaper than a Bluray only drive, which really tempted me until I decided to wait for one that writes as well (or a really good deal on standalone player).
HD DVD could still get a foot in the door if they got the writable discs onto the market much cheaper than the Bluray blanks. We'll need something to burn backups of the Bluray movies we rent.
