I think they have the longest contract with few escape clauses except for if hddvd fully dies. I could be wrong but i think that is the state. The last company to hold on will be Dreamworks.

One thing the experts have right and that is that this Hi Def war will be decided by the consumer and not some company still lamenting the loss of their marketshare in the personal audio market to Apple and trying ever so had to corner the DVD market by forcing consumers to opt for a higher priced format thereby ultimately making the choice for them.

It's cheaper, has better in-movie features, and should win the war. It is unfortunate that Blu-ray will probably win. What sucks is HDDVD is the better format.
