I should have specified that Blue-ray blank media is more expensive then HD-DVD.
Depends:
Maxell 25 GB Blu-Ray Recordable $16.30 (5 pack)
Maxell 15 GB HD DVD Recordable $13.87 (5 pack)
For Blu-Ray that makes 13 cents per GB.
For HD DVD that makes 18 cents per GB.
HD-DVD and BR video is exactly the same. Any differences would relate to the model of player your watching it on.
The specifications are not the same like Kwaad pointed out, generally speaking they are higher for Blu-Ray drives. But HD DVD is a significant step up from DVD and the difference between HD DVD and Blu-Ray will be much harder to spot, factors like the quality of the player and how this works together with the rest of the Audio Visual setup may well produce greater differences.
