In Reply to: why would anyone root for HD-DVD at the expense of Blu-Ray.... posted by oscar on June 7, 2007 at 07:14:34:
As Jack says, you are arguing BD's merits based on what it *could potentially be someday*, not what it is today, and that's a mistake. IMO, HD DVD as it exists today is good.
For my viewing preferences, HD DVD currently offers a few more titles that I want to watch, but that's me.
I don't know whether either format will exist in 5 years time, but I do know that I'm having fun right now, and gosh, 1080p video looks spectacular.
I'm also not saying I won't buy a Playstation 3 within the next few months. But you are kidding yourself if you think it's a "safer" buy!
