The only thing that bothers me about the whole thing is that HD-DVD is an inferior product :/ that cost's more to invest in >< The player is the only thing cheaper, the disks are over-run with combo dvd's which cost more, and the specs of the two disks themselves heavily favor Bluray. /sigh


Specs dont totally really mean anything if you take side by side comparisons and cant tell a difference. And how is HD DVD cost more to invest in?


Also for seamless branchikng which lets you view multiple versions of the film on one disc....instead of putting 3 versions.....regular, extended and director you have one regular with seperate traintracks for each of the other versions...so you can select which way you want the train track to go before you select play.....when the info is transfered without a higher bitrate capacity you will experience a "hitch" in the film because of th ebottleneck.....because of BD's size and bitrate, we can see multiple versions on one disc without experienceing any loss in viewing quality......

I see youve taken the PQ line hook line and sinker form the HD DVD campaign, yes the codecs show us a slight difference if any on certain films, but its the entire package that must be viewed...


 no, ive taken my info from comparisons done by reliable tech sources(Cnet, Engagdet, Wired, HiDefDigest)  which all have mentioned when it comes to picture quality, its generally the same (theyve even done comparisons between both blu ray and hd dvd formats of the same movie, and in same cases, blu ray is better, in others, HD DVD is better.)  

Not to mention with personal experiences with both(my friend has both Bluray and HD DVD, cuz hes a crazy, and have done comparisons ourselves with the same movie releases on his 50 inch HD sony, and generally they are the same, same thing as the sources mentioned.)

Anyone who says the picture quality is so much better with one format or the other has something wrong with them, personally.
