It looks increasingly like the format war between HD DVD and Blu Ray is coming to an end, with Blu Ray the victor. This article from IGN discusses the developments of the last few weeks in detail.
Even with a single format, high definition discs still have some significant problems going forward. The price of the players are expensive and the increase in picture quality over DVD is only evident with a TV size larger than most people have or want in their homes. Furthermore, there appears to be an increasing trend downloads downloading rather than physically purchasing a disk. All off this suggests that blu ray will be, at best, a niche product like laser disc before it.
