No body cares, because everyone should have figured out that blu-ray is better.
What does the fact that Microsoft wouldn't put HD-DVD on the 360 tell you? Alot of people think it's HD-DVD, but actually is DVD-9 just like what we have now. That tells you alot about Microsoft's faith in HD-DVD. Too bad Sony owns Blu-ray and wouldn't let them use it.

Why is Blu-Ray better? Have you used one? And besides, next to no games on the current Xbox even come close to taking up all of the space on a DVD, most are well below 4.3GB. Both companies are trying to make something that there simply is no real market demand for, probably a case of Toshiba waiting to see if Blu-Ray will crash and burn due to lack of need/interest.

For me its not about which is a better format... I would go for the manifacturer that creates the player that plays both formats... Thats when i would really think about purchasing... also they havent come out with the capacities of these new technologies.... At the moment I am still trying to master the technology behind the DVD soo when HD or blu ray comes out that will b awhile from now... so im still learning...

I'm quite happy with the present formats so it will have to be something special for me to purchase a HD player.

Remeber when 4.7GB was an amazing figure of optical data storage? Capacity is king if you don't want to have buy another set of equipment only a few years down the line. Blu-ray will have a longer life span, because it satifies a much greater capacity need. HD-DVD, will probally ened up costing you more when the single layer 15GB isn't enough down the line and you have to start buying dual layer already, then single layer blu-ay will be looking alot better. You have to look at this in the long run.

When you have purchased an expensive HD-DVD player you need a HD-compatible TV to join the full HD-technology. I cant afford it.
