HD War is over. Disney wins

I'm honestly surprised that either "won". With the trend today to be to just support everything (go look at how many different connection standards a new TV supports), I wouldn't have been surprised to see both of them linger on for quite a while. At least until delivery methods more like AppleTV/Vudu/Amazon UnBox* caught on and made physical media obsolete.

* Note, I'm not saying any of those are DVD killers as they are now. But it won't be long before internet delivery of content becomes the norm. Unless, of course, net neutrality dies, making such delivery prohibitively expensive.
