Blu-ray, has 1080p vice 1080I or 720P. For those who don't know that means higher resolution. Plus many large studios are going bluray "and" HD DVD; or Blu Ray exclusive. That means HD DVD is not gonna be more disributed. Add PS3 to that and HD DVD hasn't a prayer. Im not the biggest sony fan but I do know when they are gonna kick some ass. This is one of those times.
