>>> "Blu-ray can hold 20 gigs more content than HD DVD. It is therefore a superior HD format." <<<
Can hold and does hold are two different things. If in the end, the discs released have the same codecs, remastering and level of content and in an A/B comparison you can't tell a Blu-ray release from the same movie released on an HD-DVD, then the 20 gigs of 'warehouse' space doesn't mean zip; you can put that in your zip-file and smoke it!
The bottom line: capacity doesn't mean diddly if it isn't used. Now some films, like Harry Potter which is being released on both formats, are providing extra content in 1080P on Blu-ray as opposed to 480P on the HD-DVD discs. If those extras, such as making documentaries, are as important to you as the movie in higher definition then maybe you should consider Blu-ray, but I'll wager that the movies on both formats look exactly the same in side by side comparisons.

Actually, I'm looking for a metaphor for pompom carrying fanboy, but as much as your moniker keeps popping up around here I bet a Google search would just link your name to any search.
Have a good'un! ;^D
