blu ray or HD DVD?

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

tell me which one is better.

From what i've read and heard i would go with HD-DVD , as the picture is a lot better.If one has a 360 then its a good relatively cheap option. IMHO.

But then i've never been keen on anything Sony anyway.

Personally I am holding off getting either of these. I can't imagine that there will be room in the long run for two formats. (eg VHS and Beta). I don't want to be left with a heap of discs for which the format is no longer supported.

I am usually an early adopter, but not in this case.

I'm not going with either yet, not until there's a winner. The industry cannot have two seperate formats and while these two are duking it out DVD is the better option. I would just get a good upconvert DVD player and continue to watch DVDs.

I have a feeling that there would be no winners , i feel both formats will just excist side by side. IMO

It will take a very long time.;)

Why isn't a normal DVD good enough anymore??

How can they make the quality even better using blue or hd?

Here's how the market stands right now:

Blu-Ray has been out for some time now, almost 2 years. It has relatively little backing, very few DVDs released in the format.

HD-DVD, which is relatively new, already has a tremendous backing. It will more than likely take over as the industry standard. For one, there are no licensing fees for the technology as there are with Blu-Ray. For another, the quality is slightly better. There is also a fairly big array of titles to choose from already.

If you really need an option right now, go for HD-DVD.

Normal DVDs are fine on most television sets. Only with the newer HD sets do you really notice how grainy DVDs actually are. On my parent's 56 inch HD set, there is a HUGE difference between DVD and HD-DVD/Blu-Ray (they have both /sigh).
