If Wal-Mart is playing a hand in the game, then HD-DVD is going to win the battle against Blu-Ray. Wal-Mart accounts for almost 80% of movies and music sold in the US (unfortunately), and if studios don't play by their rules, they stand to lose millions (if not billions).
HD-DVD does have a noticeable difference in quality, if you have the right setup for it. You need a very expensive television (most likely one from the same manufacturer as your HD-DVD player so that compatibility is maximized). It's a very expensive upgrade for something that may not be highly valued. I don't think that it's worth the price tag right now, but if you give it a year or two and see the prices of the TVs, players and discs go down, it'll become more common.
Blu-Ray is a wash, just like every other Sony proprietary format that they've tried to force on the public. Stay away from Blu-Ray players...and only get a PS3 if you want the games.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
