The differences of Blu-ray vs. HD DVD

[SpikesBluBlooded]

I've done my own research, but as I have tried to explain in the past and been corrected (and rightly so, no need to pass on misinformation), would anyone of you more experienced/knowledgable posters please spell it out exactly WHY blu-ray is better than HD DVD? I think it will be helpful to those visiting the site for the first time, as well as those on the fence about which way to go. I think we all know about the memory advantages, but what else beyond that sets Blu apart from HD DUD?

Oh, and one more thing, let's keep this thread clean, no need to post to it if you're not directly answering the question at hand. Not to be snobby, but this should be a fairly quick-and-easy read for newcomers and not have to dig through pages and pages of non-related posts. Thanks in advance for the help!
