The 20GB version of the PS3 is $499 MSRP. Is there currently a less expensive HD DVD player? No. Plus, the PS3s have gaming and internet capability (besides some other items).Actually, Blu-ray can look "better" than HD DVD if the movie scene calls for it because Blu-ray has superior bandwidth (40Mb/s reserved just for the video alone vs 30Mb/s for the entire user accessible data stream) and storage space (50GB vs 30GB). Why do you think there are so few HD DVDs with a lossless soundtrack and the ones that do have it are 16/48, instead of 20/48 or 24/48? It's because all of the items in the data stream add up, whether you are using/accessing them or not. If the demand for interactive features increases in the future, HD DVD cannot compete with Blu-ray without sacrificing the quality or quantity of video, audio or content.
It's a fact that, when using the same masters, Blu-ray and HD DVD picture quality are equal. And that's not only for the same codec (VC-1 from Warner Bros), but for different codecs as well (VC-1 on HD DVD and MPEG2 on Blu-ray from Paramount). Therefore, the only reason to choose one over the other is content and we know who wins in that category.
By the way, have you compared the CES release lists for Blu-ray vs HD DVD for Q1/Q2 2007, especially the number of "exclusive to Blu-ray" titles? And where was Universal?
