Blu Raydvd

Would someone please tell me why we need two different formats of high-definition DVDs?
Blu-RayDVD and HD-DVD..Why couldn't they just make one standard format. Customers don't want multiple formats of motion picture DVDs
Because two different companies set their engineers to the task of creating high-definition DVDs. Blu-Ray was developed by Sony, which decided to go with a more expensive system that used blue lasers. The DVD Forum, which was headed by Toshiba, wanted a less-expensive system which would be immediately compatible with standard DVDs; they created the standard for High Definition DVDs.
Basicly, Sony wants the commercial royalties from the format (as well as the prestige of having the "real thing"), while other companies don't want to have to pay Sony for their patents or other technical rights. No one likes to have to pay the competition for every product that they sell.
