Price = HD-DVD cheaper

Picture quality = same (in most cases)

Movie selection = Blueray won.... so......

comstrike what are you talking about? Do you mean picture quality or build quality? 1080P HD DVD players look just as good as always.

Actually, the cheaper 1080p models are poor in picture quality, but the HD-A30 Has 1080p 24Hz, which I heard on the HD-A30 that it performs well, and much better than 1080p 60Hz. I may replace my xbox 360 HD DVD add on for an HD-A30 (or an A35), since my TV has 1080p 24Hz, (and works with my PS3).

70% of the movie studios back Blu-Ray. Also, I work at Best Buy and I can say that we only pretty much use Blu-Ray for our displays...if that tells you anything.

So yeah, Blu-Ray won.

Coming from a person who has both formats, I say they both look the same at 1080p. you cant just tell by the picture which is which. anyways, all stand alone players suck. the 360 add on, and the ps3 have the fastest load times. Ive seen the long load times for the stand alone players. they are not good. I guess Bluray won, for now. but as long as hddvd has universal, both formats are going to exist.

Not when some movies are on one format and others are on the other.

Not in this case. Having 2 formats is the worst.

I find the sound to be better on Bluray but picture quality is equal just about as for the format war i wish it would end and that HDDVD would leave considering the huge blow they just got dealt.
