which will win blu-ray or hd dvd which should i get?

back to the point- today, the war has been updated. we're not talking about bow's and swords. we've moved up to guns and tanks. From VHS vs. Betamax to HD DVD vs. Blu-Ray.

just like in the previous fight, Sony's Blu ray is over all better. (i know it might seem like i'm favoring Sony right now) Blu-Ray discs can hold more than twice the information. they can even come in dual layers, meaning that they store twice the information. up to 120GB! a single layer HD DVD stores about 20GB. also, blu ray discs use a blue laser, instead of a red one. hence the name. this laser can read discs faster and with more precision. so, that means for much faster loading times than an HD DVD. it also means for better quality and easier use. there is likely to be less problems when reading data. i mentioned faster loading times. an HD DVD can take up to a minute to load after you press play. it may not sound like much, but try waiting 60 seconds before you get to experience the amazing quality sound and picture of your favorite movie. it is harder to do than to imagine.

really, both offer about the same quality in picture and sound. it all depends on who you like better. currently, HD DVD is backward compatible. that means that you can play them on a regular dvd player. the idea of HD DVD is basically led by Toshiba. it has support from microsoft (who's xbox360 supports hd-dvd with the purchase of additional items) microsoft supports in reality both formats. it also has backing from NEC, Sanyo, Intel, Universal Studios, and several others.
