HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray

I haven’t gone high-def yet - I brought a beautiful television about three years ago for several hundred pounds and have no intention of getting rid of it until it dies.

Plus I watch most of my programmes on demand, either through Sky+, through one of the increasing number of web based streaming services or through DVDs ripped to my iPod.

So, as you can tell, I’m used to watching things in a lower quality in my own time - so the prospect of a better picture doesn’t jump out as a desperate need.

But one day, when the players are around £50 and I need a new TV I will get myself a Hi-Def DVD player.

By then I think Blu-Ray would have well and truly won out - after all most of the disks I see in shops are Blu-Ray, most of the big studios are Blu-Ray and I prefer to blue boxes to the purpley ones of HD-DVD.
