I'm not quite sure which one I want. Both have pros and cons and I'll just let my eyes, ears, and wallet be the judge.

Good explanation about the differences between the two.

For the gamers: Sony is officially behind Blu-Ray for the PS3 while it's rumored but not confirmed that Xbox will be HD-DVD.

 

Also, since the HD-DVD already has built-in infrastructure it should be cheaper both initially and in the long run.

Blu-Ray looks better to me on pure specs.

I dont want either....

 

Too much technology can be a bad thing.

This technology is gonna own. People with HDTVs will finally get to watch movies in HD. I really hope to join the HDTV ranks this year.

And Nintendo may go the Blu-Ray route since Panasonic has been a major contributor to both Nintendo and Sony. :thumbup

 

 

And I don't care what format it is, as long as its backwards compatible with everything I currently have.

I thought I remembered something about NEC supplying the driver for the Xbox2/Xenon/Xbox Next so it seems likely it'll be HD-DVD which should be nice because it'll be cheaper.

Blu-Ray, probably the disc is bigger and more companies are sponsoring it.

Well Microsoft has thrown support behind HD-DVD, but its not known if its going to be used for the Xbox2

 

Wouldn't surprise me though :whistle

Chill out

 

I'm about to buy a DVD player finally. I can't believe there are whispers of DVDs getting replaced

It ain't whispers. It's a question of which one. Not if or when.
