Nice post akuma, it shows that there is no reason why anyone would pick HD-DVD over Blu-ray unless they were paid to.

Of course there is.

BR specifications aren't finalized yet which means that consumers who want to take full advantage of all of BR's features will have to buy new players in November.

 

Elaborate with source please.

Enjoy the article:

BTW, note it's "hardware" upgrade. Firmware upgrade probably won't cut it.

Thanks for posting the link.

PS3 owners will probably indeed be fine though, as lvader said.

Thank you for the source!  But I agree that the "hardware" part of the hardware upgrade is already more than met by the PS3. 

Although it is troubling that Blu-ray is still finalizing its standards, I remain confident that it is the superior technology.  I feel bad for early adopters who will never be able to do picture-in-picture and that other added stuff, but let's not confuse that with the ideal:  what would be the best format 5 or 10 years down the road?
