Blue-Ray or HD DVD

As we've finally started upgrading to High Definition television our next obvious step is to change out our DVD players so we're watching movies in the much improved High Definition format. As nothing seems easy these days there is of course a choice in HD players.

Remember back in the '8Os when VCRs first came out? There was a big tug of war between Betamax and VHS formats in the VCR machines. No machine played both so the early buyers put their money on the system they thought would win out. I knew several folks who went with Betamax only to have to buy VHS units a few years later when it became the standard.

Same thing today. HD DVD has hit the ground running, but Blue-Ray HD is suddenly getting everyone's attention and it may very well take the lead. And in comparison it seems Blue-Ray has some nice advantages.
