I am no longer neutral

[Elder]

Even though I'm new to these boards, I can see where you're coming from. I was very close to buying into HD-DVD earlier in the year, but I decided to make a stand. I sided with Blu-ray for a few reasons. For one, the fact that more companies supported Blu-ray over HD-DVD was enough to convince me this is where my money should be spent. On top of that, it was the ease of use. I run a videogame website and as such I have to purchase all the consoles out there in order to write reviews for all the games I receive. When I bought my PS3, I figured I'd try out the free Talladega Nights to see what the fuss was about with 1080p and all that jazz. I can't begin to tell you how happy I am I did that. It truly changed my life. Without it I never would have bothered with HD at all, even though I own a beautiful 1080p Sony Bravia.

I've never been a big movie buying fan but since I've had my PS3, a full year now, I own 72 Blu-ray movies. That's almost as many DVDs as I own. All of these factors have shaped my reasoning for sticking with Blu-ray over HD-DVD. I just can't see myself spending money on an HD-DVD player that has such limited support. To me that'd be a step in the wrong direction.

I can't tell the future and neither can anyone else but purely based on the support, I know where my money's going to go and that's not going to change anytime soon.
