The only thing that keeps me on the edge (and I said, I probably lean just a touch towards blu) is that there is that I still don't see some of the blu-ray advantages as tangible. Space obviously is for extras and better audio. But I just don't know if the video difference will actually be visible.
wait. isn't the extra space for the main feature too? doesn't blu-ray provide a higher bandwidth? if yes to both, this means that blu-ray can kick out more data which means better overall picture. given that this is true, many people should be able to see a difference. of course, the difference is affected by many things such as seating distance, screen size, resolution and a host of other things. just because you don't see it doesn't mean that hundreds of others don't.

It sure isn't to me. I also don't have a lossless receiver and am not sure I've ever heard it or could tell the difference. What I have now sounds great. Maybe I just need to hear it. So that's why I am neutral - I need to see/hear it for myself to really see the benefit.
do you notice a difference between the theater and home? there is a difference for most people. how about dvd's and hd-dvd? you certainly should. blu-ray and dvd? it should be apparent immediately. if you can't hear it, what is your current rig (speakers, t.v., receiver) and what are your connections (hdmi, coaxial, rca, optical, analog outs)? i'm sure we can certainly give you pointers for a better set up.

The only benefits either format has for me right now is the exclusive movies. Dual format titles I'll buy on the cheaper of the two. I do share the sentiment of many others and wish there was no war, but I also want to watch whatever I can in HD.
wait, so the movies themselves are the only benefit? not the hi-def picture or advanced audio (i know you can't tell on the audio). if this is the case get a good upconverting players and buy dvd's. but als, i'm sure this isn't what you mean. as for the cheaper discs, they have been shown time and again to be cheaper on blu. so what do u mean the only benefit is the exclusive movies? because really, that doesn't make much sense.
