I don't understand why everyone is putting up with the HD-DVD crap. Blue ray holds, and can hold significantly more data than HD-DVD, period. For this reason only, if none other, it will ultimately be the primary choice for technology users, and then everyone who wants to be compatible with them. Would you want to be using blue ray disks and work and HD-DVD at home? I don't think so. And no corporations will back HD-DVD as an industry standard format for DATA, and that is the point. If you can store more data, you can always screw around with the video compressions to get better quality with that amount of data. I really don't understand ANY pros to HD-DVD other than that it is out now and that its cheaper (as with most things - you get what you pay for). but eventually all prices will fall anyways.
