"...and now the HD DVD format has taken the lead in capacity -- who would've think it?"
This isn't technically true. Toshiba said it has successfully created a 51 GB HD DVD disc, but since it isn't released yet you can't compare it to the already available 50 GB Blu-Ray disc. By that regard, you should be comparing it to the 100 GB Blu-Ray discs that are in development (although there's uncertainty of how far each is in development).
True, unreleased technology should be compared to unreleased technology, 51GB HD DVD compared to the 100GB Blu-ray disc (releasing in 2008), and 200 GB working in the labs (releasing 2010).
Its impossible for HD DVD to win, it only has one movie company, not many burners (and 1X at that), and low capacity. WAR OVER.
