Meh... I see betamax/minidisc/ATRAC happening all over again. Sony has no luck with its proprietary formats, and this will be no exception.
Blu-Ray will flop over HD-DVD for the simple reason of it being too damn expensive. Blu Ray players are going to cost upwards of $1800 when they're released, whereas HD-DVD players are going to be closer to the $499 range. I think the option is clear.
Is there a discernable difference between the quality of HD-DVD and Blu-Ray? The only difference I know of is that Blu-Ray disks hold more gigabytes of data over HD-DVDs. Technophiles will probably go for the Blu-Ray just for name alone.
HD-DVD is cheaper to produce, which will make it cheaper to sell. I don't see any advantages with Blu-Ray other than the disk size... Yeah, Sony has Colombia and MGM... Big deal, what good movies have the produced lately?
HD-DVD for the win.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
