| Re: HD vs Blu-Ray.....
Owen, I wouldnt suggest putting off buying into either. I've been enjoying both for over a year now and would be dissappointed to be without now...
Comparing the two though, I would only recommend HD DVD to family and friends at present time. For $300 it is rated one of the best dvd upconvertors this year, plus the added bonus of HD movies, extras and internet interactivity.
BR has not finished there specs and still has 3 more versions due out before its completion. I spent $1k on my BR player and its a kick in the but to know that it will not be fully functionial once profile 2.0 comes out...
At the current time there is not a single manufacturer that has claimed current BR players will be compatiable with profile 2.0 including the PS3 (although I would hope that it is). Until they publicly gurantee this I would not suggest purchasing one until then or at least understand that it may not remain fully functional in the near future
