      I don't trust Sony, personally.

          HDDVD has a better setup for the special features and extra content. There's really no discernible different between the two with regards to picture quality.

          I have players in both formats, so I'm not speaking out my ass.

          Spend you some brain.

              Theres definitely not a big difference in picture and maybe Im just crazy but the bluray looks slightly better to me and they also seem to have better movies on blu ray

                  I have the PS3 Blue-Ray and love it. It looks great on a plasma but I think in the long run the HD-DVD will take over just do to the name alone. People know what HD means and it will be much easier to market HD-DVD to the average consumer . that's just my opinion

                      See I thought that too but I think the world might be ready for a new phrase...and Blu-ray is a catchy name I dunno, I have both but Ive been amassing a collection of blu rays so Im a little biased

                          I figured no porn on blu-ray would have killed it by now but I think there are going to be two formats for quite a while not like betamax

                              Blu Ray does have a bigger list of supporting movie studios. I just picked up the two Pirates titles and they're unreal in HD.

                              I really can't see any difference between the two. I'm sure there is, but to the naked eye...it's hardly noticeable if it is at all.

                              Doesn't matter to me who wins the "format" war. I really can't wait for one of them to give up and put all the discs on clearance so I can snatch them all up.

                              Spend you some brain.

                                  Also worth mentioning is that HDDVD discs can be pressed on current standard DVD presses with slight (if any) modifications. Blu Ray needs it's own presses.

                                          I think blue ray is the future because it was developed for quality movies

                                                              This isn't 1980. Porn will have no say in who wins this format war. Completely different circumstances between this and VHS vs betamax

                                                                      Who is that? 70% of HD discs sold are blu-ray. Blu-ray is winning and will win. For example Casino Royale has sold more blu-ray discs than the # of HD-DVD players that exist. So even if it wa available on HD-DVD( which it isn't ) and every single owner of a HD-DVD player bought Casino Royale it still wouldn't match the # of blu-ray dics of it sold.

                                                                      Sony was super smart putting blu-ray in the PS3. This is the main reason why blu-ray sells more discs than HD-DVD.

Fuck spending money on mainstream movies, they just don't hold my interest anymore. I have enough favorite programs on tv that I can watch when I sit and eat at my table. I almost never watch movies or buy dvds anymore. On rare occasions, I wait until a movie comes to HBO or Showtime or Sundance or IFC and then I just tivo them.

If lots of producers manufacture a player with both formats, then they could co-exist a long time, until the next generation format.

They had every advantage. Sony fucks everything up these days and I'm glad. They create many of these format wars and they suck!

Blu Ray players are a lot more expensive - while you can get an HD Dvd player for less than $500 now. Every review of movies that I have read that are available on both formats has ultimately gone to HD Dvd as the better picture. Again these are reviews I've read so I'm not speaking from experience. I don't have either player yet but have bought some of the combo formate dvds (HD DVD on one side and DVD on the other) - This is a great feature that Blu Ray hasn't caught on with yet. All in all from my research - I'm leaning towards HD DVD.
