Right now that is somewhat true. A year from now it wont be comparable. I know you're probably an xbox fanboy and are supporting HD-DVD because it's not Sony and all, but I guarantee you Blu-Ray will own HD-DVD. The shit everyone complains about with Blu-Ray is stupid. It has much more space, and much better backing, period. Just because it didn't use VC1 and h.264 right off the bat doesn't mean shit. HD-DVD people LOVE this time because they can complain about that, but I'm sure in the back of their minds they realize there is no reason why Blu-Ray wouldn't be better. It does everything HD-DVD does, but more. That's not even argueable.
