Question Blu-ray or HD-DVD?

Which format of DVD do you like better.

After wifie got me a new DVD player for X-mas that does not play either of the above formats I would be happy to say: None of the above.
(don't make the same mistake she did and get blue-ray or hd-dvd batman to play on nomal dvd. The stores won't take them back after there opened)

If you get a blu-ray player make sure it's upgradeable because Sony released the 2.0 spec. PS3 looks like the safest player atm.

Don't mean to sound like a luddite, but HD isn't really a big deal for me. I'll just pick up good up converting DVD player.

I have the PlayStation 3 system so the only option for a High Definition film/video for me is just Blu-ray. But that does not mean I prefer Blu-ray over HD-DVD or vice-versa.

As far as preference concerns me, I'd appreciate it if film companies would just support one format and make it a standard for high definition films. That way HD films and the player for that format will get cheaper.

I will not be affected if HD-DVD wins the war because as far as I am concerned, just like my PlayStation Portable, I did not buy the system for watching films.

Have not bought a PS3 yet but plan on doing it at some point..it always takes a while for good rpgs to appear.
Good thing about it is PS3 doesn't need to be modded to be able to play games from different regions(japan, usa,europe), and as vincent_10_27, I hardly ever use even the existing ps2 for watching dvds...
As for format, I'd tip on Bluray's side, as I see more advantages with a blue laser, and thus with the issue of future compatibility...not sure how accurate that quess is though.
For now the prize/compatibility/reliability of these new HD formats are such that I think I'll stick to old dvds for the time being...

Sincerely, Blanchimont

Personally I'm a poor bugger and I tend to not even by dvds since I tend to manage to **** them up when I try to write new stuff on them.
When I used to live in the uk I bought basic dvds since the blue ray and hd-dvd were just coming onto the market.
I am happy that I missed out this silly format war.

God I miss beta tapes =(

Which Format do I like?

I prefer Blu-Ray over HD. I like Blu-Ray a lot better than HD format.
