Blu-ray is basically a rival to HD-DVD, right? Has either of these asserted its dominance on the market yet?

yeah, blue ray and HD-DVD are in competition with each other. So far, it's not set to which one wins, there are pros and cons for either one of the technology. For now, it seems like we maybe doom to have dual format as it was with DVD-r and DVD+R
