I'll stick to my PS3 until further notice....

Im on the other side of the fence than Filmmaking Fiasco. If it is out on both fomrats, at this time, I go with HD DVD. I just got into Blu Ray last month and I have been hugely dissapointed with the quality of lots of movies. My first order arrived from Amazon, House of Flying Daggers, Casino Royale, Prestige, Pearl Harbor and XMen3. Other than Casino and Prestige, which did look great, I was HUGELY disspointed in the quality of the other titles, namely X3 and Pearl Harbor, which I expected to look fantastic. Again, after reading reviews, I found out about the different codecs each one was formatted with, and thats why they look crappy. Quite honestly, my dvd of the same title upconverted looked better, there was so much digital noise on the Blu Ray disc. When you are touting yourself as Beyond High Def then you damn well better be Beyond High Def with your releases, not Beyond DVD. I have yet to be disspointed with a HD DVD release, at least the ones I have purchased, and I own over 30 titles in that format.
