[Afterglowing]

I dont much about either of them but I keep reading Bluray is gonna die out fast

[Smart]

HD DVD doesnt require buying a new dvd player, does it?

[NetoBs]

I never heard of HD DVD really, but i hard that here in portugal they're already selling Blue Ray DVDs, even though way too expencive

The big difference is storage.

• ROM dual layer: 46.6 / 50GB
• RW single layer: 23.3 / 25 / 27GB
• RW dual layer: 46.6 / 50 / 54GB
• Highest test: 100GB
• Theoretical limit: 200GB

HD-DVD:

• ROM dual layer: 30GB
• RW single layer: N/A
• RW dual layer: N/A
• Highest test: 45GB

From what I have seen Blu Ray looks so much better. At my local Best Buy they have 2 identical TVs next to each other one with Blu Ray set up and one with normal DVD player with the HD DVD. They both have identical surround sound systems connected. both playing the same movie. The Blu Ray looks and sounds so much better.

Yes the PS3's are using Blu-Ray Cd's. Yes the games are expensive :(


Also the correct spelling is Blu Ray

[scoooooty]

Blue Ray by far.

The quality of Blue Ray is so good it makes DVDs look crap.
