Re: Blu-Ray Discs vs HD DVD
Bluray will almost certainly win due to being in every PS3 shipped out.
Other than that, the formats are pretty similar. The only significant difference is that HD DVD is backward compatible so HD DVD tech will play standard DVDs. For Bluray players to play standard DVDs, they need another laser which pushes the price up slightly.

However, many multiformat DVD re-writers use multiple laser systems and these days cost about £30, so I don't see it being a significant issue. Frankly, until there's a clear winner I'm not buying any equipment or media for either of them. This is going to end up like betamax/vhs all over again, except that this time neither format is obviously superior - not that being superior to vhs helped betamax at all.
