The battle rages and it looks like consumers will have to face a dual format much like the dash R and plus R DVDs. Samsung & LG already offer dual format machines and others will follow. This probably means both formats will survive. Both use interactive menus but differences are – Blu-Ray capacity is 50Gb and HD-DVD is 30Gb. HD-DVD is region free while Blu-Ray is divided into three regions. (Figures Sony will try to stick it to the consumer) A disadvantage to HD-DVD is they are not all hard coated as are the Blu-Ray. HD-DVDs scratch as easily as regular DVDs while the Blu-Ray are more scratch resistant. Norm Hi Jason,
