This site is not responsible for any misunderstanding.The war is just heating up. The latest shot fired in the next generation video player war is that Toshiba has lowered the price of the HD-A2 HD-DVD player to $299 to combat Sony’s price of $499 of its BDP-S300 which includes five free movies.
Although combating technologies help lower prices for consumers, It’s getting frustrated waiting to see what format will win.

HD-DVD is better for consumers, as it’s not as laden with DRM crap as Sony’s Blu-ray. That means that you will probably see more support on computers for HD-DVD, as people will be able to write utilities to use the things more easily.
I vote for Blu-Ray. The 50Gb of space is too much to pass on.
