        Blue ray is better but HD Dvd has already pulled ahead (its what I use). But the rummer is both will last since the disk costs these guys less then a penny anyways.

            Well if you have a blu-ray player and the video store rents out blu-ray disc why not rent one? Once you do that you've got em.

            You do realize the sales numbers for the HD-DVD add on are miniscule compared to how many PS3 are our there.

            Also consider this the person that bought the HD-DVD add on spent

            $399 for premium XBOX 360 with 20 GB HDD
            $100 for wi-fi
            $200 for HD-DVD addd-on
            no HDMI available. MS says sooon, but of course will be an add-on and will cost more $$$$

            TOTAL $700 not including cost of future HDMI add-on.

            Premium PS3 with 60 HDD comes with wi-fi, blu-ray, and HDMI 1.3 for $600

            Now how stupid is that?



            Yes in a few years those HD-DVD add-ons will have to be replaced with blu-ray add-ons. Real smart.



            I'm sure my local Movie Gallery rents both for the same price. Most people rent not buy.

            Blu-ray has more than just a few more titles. And that means a lot. For example I'm sure Spiderman 3 will be a huge hit in theaters and will one of the most anticipated movies for home theater. It will only come out on blu-ray not HD-DVD.

            Prices will drop for both like DVDs have, as more get sold. Blu-ray is selling a shitload more so their price drops will come faster and be more.
            As I mentioned above games being on Bluray means nothing more than games on that format having more CGI or FMV cutscenes. It offers no benefit to the gaming experience.

            As for movie players, HDDVD units are already 1/2 the price of BR players. The only reason you're seeing more BR player #s, is from the PS3 owners...which most people bought for gaming purposes, not movies. So those numbers don't hold the full weight of someone purchasing the MS HDDVD addon because they wanted to watch HDDVD movies. That's my point.

            None of the rental places in my mid-sized city are renting either format. Netflix has HDDVD, but no Bluray (at the moment). You mentioned that there are some Bluray exclusives, well the same can be said for HDDVD. In the case that the title is available on both formats, HDDVD is always cheaper. The menu setup for all the extra features on HDDVD provides a much better user experience.

            I've got both so what I'm saying comes from my research as well as using both setups.

            Spend you some brain.

                    Not true. Both are very well protected and can take a significant amount of stress and still play fine.

                        Because of the PS3 containing a built in blu-ray player ther are 5X times as many blu-ray players as HD-DVD players. That ratio will only get bigger. That's where Microsoft fucked up not including HD-DVD with the XBOX 360.
                        good point but useless for people like myself who don't play video games.
                        you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

                                I love my bluray..
                                I'd actually say MORE titles are available on HD-DVD, at a slightly lower price, but that bluray is pulling ahead...
                                I now have 14 bluray movies that I use on my PS3, and no games... I think that bluray's early advantage lead will really help them win the battle...
                                I also like the fact that bluray technically has more storage space IF it's ever needed...
                                And I just rented a bluray movie last night from blockbuster for the same price as a regular dvd

                                    Bluray has 50gig capacity, They have new dual layer HDDVD that will have 51. I'm sure it'll go back and forth, but that's where it stands now.
