It is BluRay. And wait for the price to drop. Do you have an HDDVD player? The format war is hardly over. BluRay has an edge now, but it is hardly over.

This "war" will be deterimed by the middling class of American consumers. If HD-DVD can meet the demands of the "wal mart shopper" they will win.
I'd pick Blu-Ray too just for the tech of it -- but if HD-DVD meets the needs (read: price) of most consumers than they will win.

Yeah it's crazy with these formats today, you just can't keep up...
I amassed a pretty nice DVD collection over the last few years and I'm completely fine with watching them in the future... I got all I want, solid quality, movie in numerous languages and some bonus stuff.
