Which is best....
I can sit here and breach gosible about which is best but that seems very sad. I will give you some FACT's about each format:
Blu-ray:
Is MORE exspensive to produce (if you know anything about optical data you will know why).
At maximum cap is store's 1GB less than HDDVD.
The read speeds are pretty much identical.
Blu-Ray is out selling HD DVD.
HDDVD
Cheaper to produce, and cheaper drive mech's
Can store 51GB max pot.
Speed pretty much identical.
Has less titles than blu-ray
remember sony were giving away free movies with the ps3 and vouchers as far as i remember.
We've been here before. Either way both formats offer pretty much "Identical" performance, is who ever purswades the most people, MS probably lost due to not including HD DVD when they started selling the xbox 360...
I prefer the 360 over the PS3 in pretty much every way, thats not to say that the PS3 isnt good.
