I like a lot of the features on the HD DVD player, but The PQ and AQ go to Blu-Ray. The Disney movie "Cars" proved that to me. An HD DVD release always looks a little soft in comparison to a Blu-Ray release. It is hard to belive, but the higher bit-rate of the Blu-Ray releases do make for a more dynamic image.
For sound quality, there is nothing better than Blu-Ray. Blu-Ray has a way to go for pure interactivity, but that is getting much better. The fact is, with Blu-Ray's increased capacity, they don't really need online connectivity. By that I mean it doesn't have to download the extra content, it is already on the disk.
I like HD DVD I really do, but Blu-Ray is the winner. Thats why I have 2 Blu-Ray players ( PS3 and Panasonic BD30) and only 1 HD DVD player. Blu-Ray has my money, and my loyalty. I WAS format neutral, but for some time I have been leaning to Blu-Ray. Now I'm true Blu!
