Other than pricing, the biggest difference is Blu-Ray has higher available storage capacity and higher bandwidth.

The storage and bandwidth constraints has a theoretical impact on audio and video quality. I.e. the less compression, the better, everything else being equal. Whether that shows as a "perchievable" difference between Blu-Ray and HD DVD has become a very active discussion topic on the AVS forum.

In my case, the release of uncompressed LPCM audio tracks on a large number of Blu-Ray movies has been a definite plus.
