@ap

um…no, I’m picking HD-DVD because they now have more compelling content to me than Blu-Ray.

Plus, I personally think when Wal-Mart sells a gazillion HD-DVD players his Christmas, that Blu-Ray is going to be trying very hard to play catch up.

The major factor that swings me towards to HD-DVD camp is it’s lack of region coding. Blu Ray has new region coding (on some discs) that locks those of us in the UK out of Asian and USA releases as they are both Region A.

The other thing is that HD-DVD also does Combo discs (two seperate discs in same box would be better) so my family can watch the SD movie on normal DVD players.

And the Heroes HD-DVD box set. ;)
