blu ray and hd dvd are the same. why are blu ray fans insisting that blu ray is better when it is not?

blu ray and hd dvd are the same. period.

from time to time blu ray fans keep telling me that blu ray is better. like it’s their new religion, and they follow that religion with blind obedience. it makes no sense.

so one day i went to a friends house who owned both a blu ray and an hd dvd player. he owned two 47 inch hdtv sets. we set up the two hdtv sets side by side, one was hooked up to a blu ray player, the other on an hd dvd player.

we watched 300 and superman returns on both formats simultaneuosly. we can’t tell the difference between the two. they looked the same.

so blu ray and hd dvd are the same. why would blu ray fans claim that blu ray is better when it is not? that claim is very misleading. what’s sad about this is that, they just made sony their master and they are slaves of blu ray.

    they are infact the same, they use the same coding and compression. both use hd dolby, visually you will not see a difference in the picture or hear a difference in the sound. The difference come in the technology itself.

    hd dvd can hold up to 25gb of data on a single layer while blu ray can hold 50gb on a single layer. blu ray will win this for because of one reason, data storage. Againthey are the same when it comes to quality of video, i too own both, but when the computer world start to look at the two formats for data storage, blu ray will take off because it can hold twice the data of hd dvd.

    yes hd dvd has a 50gb disc in the works but it is on a dual layer which will mean new tech to read it as current hd dvd lasers can only read a single layer. blu ray is set to go and that is the only reason blu ray will win the format war
