In light of this article (which you don't really need to read, other than the headline) I have decided to use my small knowledge base and couple it with my extensive vocabulary and imagination to review these two items and explain to you why Blu-Ray is the superior of the two choices.
At the core of these two items we find the same product, a disc that will play movies and videos in TRUE High Definition, and not that "almost there" HDMI crap that makes us true believers want to dig our eyes out. Not to mention, HDMI Cables are freaking expensive. $60 for a four foot cable? No thank you, ZERO BEARDS for you HDMI Cable.
So what is the difference? It's quite simple. HDDVD came on a normal DVD disc with the same kind of crappy storage capacity as regular discs, the kind of discs that require more then one disc for anything over 5 hours of material. Blu-Ray on the other hand is a new kind of technology. It's a disc whose "format offers more than five times the storage capacity of traditional DVDs and can hold up to 25GB on a single-layer disc and 50GB on a dual-layer disc" according to the Blu-Ray website. This is of course one of the reasons why the PS3 (the over priced piece of shit that it is/5 Beards) went with the technology. This way the next generation of Final Fanasy games could be 5 times longer then ever before, with even more detailed running chickens.
But seriously, Blu-Ray is awesome, because to me this makes me think that data cubes and crystals which will of course be small enough to fit in my pocket and not be subject o scratching and be able to hold every bit of information on my computer are just right around the corner. And of course, once we have that then we'll have holographic projection TV and self-driving cars, which is what I really want.
So, since Blu-Ray has already won the war, and is apparently the gateway to all my dreams the future it should get a high score, it's currently prohibitively high cost though hurts it as I'm afraid that now, without competition the price will not come down anytime soon. The cheapest unit is $400.00 without tax and anyother add-ons, plus I don't want to have to rebuy all my movies since Blu-Ray discs are all at least 29.99 and I got The Truman Show (7 Beards) on DVD for $5 a few months ago.
Blu-Ray gets SEVEN BEARDS.
HDDVD gets ZERO BEARDS.

Coupple things. 1) they are not chickens, they are fucking Chocobos! 2) Blu(needs a mother fucking e here)-Ray will remain expensive till it can be accepted main stream. When that happens, manufacturing will be shifted from the DVD towards Blu(e)-Ray and more resources will be allocated, bringing the cost down. It's just going to take some time and a intitial investment from true believers like us. Lets just hope it sticks and something new doesnt come out b4 it's popular, or else we'll have another a-track on our hands.
mr blu needs fuckin E....A-track needs a fuckin 8! its 8-track....EIGHT TRACK...8
