yeah, I just read this ridiculously long thread here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=836632&page=22&pp=30
They seem to think it's hd-dvd. Apparently TDK's media was bought by Imation, who I thought supported hd-dvd and blu-ray but everyone on that forum claims they support only hd-dvd. Still, I can't find any confirming reports (other than copies from engadget or avs) concerning TDK all the sudden helping out hd-dvd since they were the first on board with blu-ray (R&D of TDK is still TDK alone).
Easier manufacturing and smaller space points to hd-dvd, though. Blu-ray is by far more scratch resistant, though, because you can't ruin these discs with sandpaper, fingerprints, or anything I've found so far (rented copies). HD-DVDs are just as scratch-prone as DVDs. I'm not sure why people prefer hd-dvd other than hating Sony, because blu-ray has a slight quality advantage (video/audio), space advantage, and scratch-proof advantage. Granted, hd-dvd is cheaper but to me I would rather root for the better format to become cheaper rather than worrying about scratching my discs for many more years for a sacrafice in quality. Oh well.
Anyway, not much can be said about this until details are released...in English...from TDK, Walmart, someone official.
