Blu-Ray will put a heck of a lot more money in the store's pockets then HD-DVD. Sony touts that it will sell 100 million units easily. Well, all those units need games which will be delivered via Blue-Ray discs. That means even more sales and money for retailers. So it is easy to see way retailers are lining up behind Blu-Ray. There's more money to make on that format. If Xbox 360 launched with a built-in HD-DVD and their games took advantage of the media, it would have a much better chance of winning. Both formats have a great picture although Blu-Ray from what I have seen seems to be lacking a bit (I have viewed the Samsung unit only). I will have revisit the stores after the "Samsung hardware bug" is fixed to see if the picture is improved.
