However, a funny thing happened after the dust settled and Blu-ray was named the winner earlier this year. Nothing.
Although Blu-ray backers promised that prices would drop after HD DVD went away, they haven't, and consumers still aren't interested in shelling out $400 for a player or as much as $39 for a disc. The high prices aren't helping Blu-ray sales, which plummeted 40% from January to February, according to the NPD Group.
