So which BDs are actually better than HD DVD?

Your thoughts?

Remember the technology still new and early on development. While right now small differences can be seen, think about the future. Once the next big update comes we might not have to get a new medium since BD has alot of bandwith and space for storage. That's my biggest thing. HDDVD just came out and is already being max out. Blu ray has plenty left to exploite it, something to keep on the back of you mind folks.
