High-Definition DVDs to Outpace DVDs in 2012
 

A recently released report from a Monterey, California-based research firm claims that by 2009 there will be almost no video cassette recorders in use, whereas high definition digital video discs (DVDs) will have higher market share than standard definition DVDs in six years time.

“In 2006, the bulk of the $16.9 billion revenue will come from standard-definition DVD ($16.8 billion). By 2009, VHS will be virtually extinct and high-definition DVD revenue should grow to more than $2.6 billion as the format war works itself out, either via one winning format or a combination HD DVD/Blu-ray player being introduced to the market,” said Wade Holden, an analyst with Kagan Research.

that leaves us with "some" time to spare to make up our minds which HD player to get, Blu-Ray, HD-DVD or a Hybrid one:)
