I see. By buying HD-DVD, you would force the Blu-Ray only studios to release their content on HD-DVD, short term. Long term, that would result in Blu-Ray going away from everyone except Sony Studios, because of the PS3. (Is there HD-DVD only content also?) Thanks for explaning further although I should have read the original post more closely.

[offtopic: Personally, I would prefer Blu-Ray to succeed if possible because I would prefer the larger capacity per layer feature to show up in computer burners. But at the same time I fall into the category of not wanting to show support because I don't like the legal lobbying and rights restrictions being pushed down through these products.]
HD DVD has Universal, Warner & Paramount
Blu-ray has alot more exclusive support at the moment

To answer your off topic, although Blu-ray promised a larger capacity of 50g's they did not deliver as promised and all there current disks are 25 g's which is actually less space then HD DVD.
