Would it not make sense for the CE manufacturers and studios to just gradually phase out regular DVDs and their players as they did with VHS? That way, adoption of HD media is assured. Hardware prices will continue to drop to the point that the average consumer won't mind forking out $100 for a dual-format player.

As far as the format war is concerned, some sort of alliance will occur between the warring camps. I really like the name "High Def. Disc". It could be HD DVD, it could be Blu-ray. It won't matter because multi-format players will play any kind of disc you insert. Movie studios would choose the disc format that best suits the film and the consumer would never know the difference.
