to be honest i haven't seen either working! i just have noticed more players in shops and ads for the blu ray rather than the HD DVD.
In pc pro and custom pc mags there are loads of BD rom/DVD writers coming out pioneer plextor LG and i can only see the tosh in HD-DVD .

in advertising world "repetition builds reputation" doesn't matter what is best if you keep banging on about a thing it gets ingrained in the masses minds..

ill probably buy a machine that plays and records to everything thus getting splinters in my ass from sitting on the fence
