Where did you hear that bluray and HD-DVD is combining? When we (consumers) get introduced to a new format it's called a booked format. CD's are blue book I think and it's because every major company has to litteraly sit down and decide what the format will be but no one actually owns the format. For example, there is no one company that gets a % off of every CD sale, any CD sale, because they own the 'CD patent'. So no one company can own the format.
Sony on the other hand is trying their best to do it with bluray and those horrible little memory sticks. but if you heard the formats are being combined, that means in reality they've settled on a booked format and that means no one owns it.
