Blu-ray Forum - View Single Post - UG! Since when did H.D.-D.V.D. start using BLUE lasers?

Help me! I've been discuing the whole Blu-Ray/H.D.-D.V.D. fiasco format war with someone and I made the claim that H.D.-D.V.D. will not be able to hold as much storage space because it uses a RED laser. I have since been told it uses a BLUE laser and when I look at the unreliable website of Wikipedia it says that H.D.-D.V.D. uses a blue laser. What the hell? I thought the whole point of Blu-Ray being able to store more on it is because it uses a BLUE laser while no other format does?! Am I off my rocker and on the floor again?!
