"To put it bluntly, Microsoft wants both Blu-ray and HD-DVD to fail..." [gamesindustry.biz]

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

In Microsoft's worldview, there's no space for a next-gen DVD format. Instead, the firm wants the transition to high definition to occur alongside a transition to digital distribution - and even while making a HD-DVD drive available, the firm has been pushing Xbox 360 consumers towards a clearly preferred model where they pay to download video content to their console's hard drive.

Given my 256K DSL internet connection, I think I could get a physical DVD from Amazon faster than I could download it :-P
