That's it, folks... the war is over; Blu-Ray wins (at least, until physical media is dropped altogether in favor of downloadable content).<br/><br/>So just to be clear: a superior technology that's more expensive and backed by Sony wins out over a widely available cheaper alternative.<br/><br/>Somewhere, the inventor of Betamax is chuckling.
