Amen, to that. If either HD DVD or Blu-ray wins quickly, then we(the consumers) won't lose. There has been a great short term benefit of the competition between HD DVD and Blu-ray that has pushed prices down faster than if only 1 format launched, but since that benefit has already happened, it would be of even greater benefit for a single format to emerge quickly so we can see further price breaks with volume efficiencies of manufacturing that single format. Player prices will come down, and media prices will come down due to manufacturing efficiencies of increased production of a single format. We won't lose at all.
I'll believe that when I actually see it, and not until.

Prices have finally STARTED to come down for the BD camp- Joe Blow still isn't gonna buy alot at the current prices.
