Fascinating topic
I am not a Microsoft fanboy! However I admit I have some bias against Sony since Beta, SACD and now Blu-ray.
I really think it’s obvious HD DVD was ready first. HD DVD had a lot of early advantages in price and picture quality. But that’s really leveled out lately.
I now have a blu-ray player and I must admit it’s awesome! I have done side by side comparisons of HD DVD and BD and I can see no difference. But when using BD lossless 5.1 soundtrack, I can certainly hear a difference.
There are some serious problems with Blu-ray right now, I honestly think seems pushed into production before it was ready. But honestly, I don’t care which format “wins”, I just want the most movies I can get in HD.
That’s why I’m going to buy this Samsung combo player when it’s available. BD-UP5000
