The greater storage capacity means higher bitrate video and audio tracks, hence better video and audio quality, everything else being equal. May not mean anything to Joe Six pack but those who have large investments in HT will want the best.I've just started this game, but so far, Blu-Ray whacks HD-DVD based on all three (3) HD-DVDs I have had the chance to view. I'm sure it's merely an accident of which titles I've picked up to date.
I suspect the only thing holding back more title releases is lack of Blu-Ray manufacturing capabilities.
