One thing to keep in mind is that HD-DVD outsells Blue Ray worldwide. Even though the American movie companies seem to be dropping the HD-DVD format, worldwide sales could still tip the balance the other way. | |

Blu-Ray definitely.
Just go to Wikipedia and check out the specs of it...amazing.
Plus, the video game developers are just now getting the hang of Blu-Ray code, meaning that the PS3 will have tremendous support over the next few years. It's ridiculous!!!! Get the PS3 - great Blu-Ray player, web browser, and game console all for $499 (80GB) | |

I wanted a new game system awhile back, I ended up getting a PS3 and hoping that Blu-Ray would be the winner. It looks like Blu-Ray is in fact the winner. I don't think that means that HD-DVD will be going away anytime soon but BR is going to be the future.
I agree with others about getting a PS3 for a BR player. It's so much more than a video game system. It's really a home entertainment server too. I plugged in my flash drive to the front USB panel and was watching music videos and viewing photos. It's really pretty slick. I can't wait to get my home wireless set up so I can do all the online stuff with the PS3 also.
Just remember if your wanting high def you have to take all the steps. Cables and all. I was reading an article the other day that figured almost half of people with high def TV's aren't getting high def.

Well, Netflix is now going to all Blu-Ray. Another blow for HD-DVD. | |

I am waiting for BD 2.0 to come out which means the release of Denon's BD player.

Here's some more good information. CNET recommends - CNET's quick guide: HD DVD vs. Blu-ray - CNET reviews
Do you already own an upconvert DVD player or a receiver that does? Might be a better option for right now. Help you get the most out of your current DVD collection for the time being.

Well it looks like Blu-Ray will win (if HDM even survives) but the only 2.0 spec player is the PS3.
Do you have a large DVD collection? What TV will you be watching it on?
HD DVD players are going down in price and are very appealing just as a solid up converting DVD player (not to mention you also receive 7 HD DVD's for free). I would say hold off for now until the Blu-Ray players are fully up to spec.
