I have been watching the pamphlets from Future Shop, Best Buy and others for the past three months and they have all been pushing Blu-Ray much more than HD DVD. It's not that I am sore that HD DVD lost the battle but how they lost it. The consumer did not decide, the retailers and payoffs to Paramount and such did. With all the incentives that Sony has given the retailers to push their product, Sony will have to sell a hell of a lot of machines to make up for lost revenue. And of course we all know that HD DVD was a better format. Better codecs, one laser, MPEG-4 technology and oh! firmware updates readily available. I will NEVER, read my lips NEVER purchase that poor excuse of a technology. HD DVD forever!!!!!!</p> Blu-Ray won because of incentives to retailers.

How do do think SONY was able to eke out more storage capacity on their BD disks? By cheating on reliability, that's how.<br /> Even as careful as I AM with handling all disks I know it is just a matter to time before I ruin one. Even the slightest scratch will render a Blue-Ray HD useless!<br /> That's tough to accept, especially after forking out $27-$30 per disk.</p> I am not surprised that Blue-Ray has won the battle – capacity is always the critical criterium.

It plays old DVD-s HD-dvds so.. no need to worry if u have a library of them.. Only problem is.. would be the prices... .. Technology adavances.. every.. year or two.. .. next year theyll be onto something else. </p> I just got a ps3.. im amazed by this whole distinction of the HD-DVD in the last 2 months since i bought the pse (which includes a blueray player) .. although it may be more expensive.. its a pretty sweet DVD player… … It plays old DVD-s HD-dvds so.. no need to worry if u have a library of them..
