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.

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.
