Blu-ray has won. 100%. They have Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, Target, et al. It's over for HD-DVD.

Anthony,

I've been really pleased my homebrew mythtv box. Commercial skipping + DVD archiving of shows >= TiVo.

We just got TiVo HD, & if you have Comcast, you're in for nothing but problems. We've called them three times in less than one day because they can't seem to figure out how to activate the CABLEcards. So if anyone out there gets one, take the day off & prepare to talk to people who admit they don't know what they're doing.

@5

MythTV is nice, but no cablecard means no recording of HD sources that are protected by the cable company. Personally, I'm waiting until Vista w/ cablecard machines start to come down in price, because the Tivo cannot play my digital music collection.

Well, the Taser C2 is certainly no Bowel Disruptor, but what the hey...

@1 what are you talking about Target sells HD-DVD. Unless you're referring to that myth floating around digg that confused aisle end-cap displays for blu-ray with some kind of "exclusive" deal.

I love the reference to the EIGHT-FOOT legoman being "life-sized."
