Re: HD-DVD vs. Blue-Ray
I don't just remember I have them. just sold a Beta at a garage sale..
 I'm not High-Tec by any means - the winner is Blue-Ray no doubt about it.. OK - off to listen to music on my Reel to Reel tape - it's cool, works like new. Patsy |

Re: HD-DVD vs. Blue-Ray
Blu has taken on the lions share of commercial marketing and theres a growing commitment in getting blu films in the market. I dont think its any longer as controversial as Beta vs VHS was.
Blu has built a pretty solid foundation.

Re: HD-DVD vs. Blue-Ray
It's down to cost. the advantage is not that great for people to be prepared to spend the extra-especially if you have young kids and are on a budget. beta max was better than vhs but lost on cost. at least that's y tuppence worth
