I am sure it is a few reasons. First my HD DVD has better sound. My year and a half old Onkyo receiver does not have HDMI inputs only analog. I am not about to run out and replace that because Blu-Ray can't do things to make it convenient for consumers. With my HD DVD I can get the lossless audio so it sounds better. There is no decently priced Blu-Ray player besides the Samsung 1400 (and I was not about to buy that for obvious reasons) that give me that ability. And my HD DVD player upconverts better. I am amazed at how good SD movies look on it (still 90% of that I watch). And lastly it does seem I prefer the selections I was getting with HD DVD. I am not a big Disney fan, and don't like the kind of company Sony is (you're with us or against us). But Sony made a smart move putting the Blu-ray player in the PS3, making them hard to beat. As for HD Quality between the players, like I said I only saw Spiderman 3 on the Blu-Ray and it was good quality, but not a great movie. Someday my 5 free movies will come and I can check a few of them out, but the selection they gave was horrible so not like I am checking the mail everyday in anticipation. When the last nail is in HD DVD's coffin I guess I will have to give in and learn to love Blu-Ray. Not gonna happen overnight though.
