What it comes down to is cost.

You can play your HD-DVD right now on any computer running Windows Medial Player 9 or newer and stream it to your HDTV once MCE is available in the next generation of Windows.

You'll have to spend about $600 or more just to get a player for your Blu-Ray stuff.

Also, HD resolution of 1080 (regardless of render format) for a single frame is equivalent to a 1 megapixel photograph.
All you assholes jacking off to Suze Randell pictures aren't complaining that the 10 megapixel photos are too clear, so try not to be afraid of any new technology coming your way.

As far as better looking whores, that's a personal opinion
