Microsoft and Intel last week tried to swing the computing consumer electronics and entertainment industry toward HD DVD in a format war to establish a higher-capacity successor to today's DVD.
It didn't work.
Who's on each side?
Toshiba leads the HD DVD which also includes Sanyo and NEC.

Blu-ray's list is longer with Sony, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung Sharp, Pioneer and LG. PC makers that support it are Dell, HP and Apple.Also on board are EA Sports.
I believe Blu-ray will win
What are people's opinion on the next gen format?

I think HD-DVD will win, it holds up to 30gb, It's cheaper and it doesn't come in a cartridge so you will be able to burn them. But I think the main factor is price. Yes, Bluray is technically better but there's far more advantages to HD-DVD. I think Bluray will go down the path of Sony's other media formats Betamax, lazerdisc and UMD. It'll be a total flop, HD-DVD wil reign supreme!

thats apretty good point, but then again, not being able to burn the disc's doesnt seem to be a problem for sony and the UMD's, so they might get threw

iddqd. I was expecting you to respond.
Companies want a higher capacity to accommodate the larger data demands.
HD DVD has no advantage in the copy area.

Larger data demands? 50gb for video is ridiculous, unless you're projecting the movie in a theatre or somthing you won't notice a difference at all. But as for the gaming capabilities, yes, Bluray is better but I still stand by what I said. The advantages of HD-DVD far outweigh the disadvantages. Capacity is not everything when it comes to optical media.

The case for blue-ray

Blu-ray upside

High capacity
Can output to 1080p
Widespread industry support
Comes in the PS3 as standard
Backwards compatible with DVDs and CDs

Blu-ray downside

Could be more expensive than HD DVD players
No movies available in Australia--yet
Top of the line gear needed to make it shine

The case for HD DVD

HD DVD upside

High capacity
Cheaper prices for players
Twin disc support
Backwards compatible with DVDs and CDs

HD DVD downside

Currently maxes out at 1080i resolution
No HD DVD movies available--yet
Game support only in the form of an Xbox360 add-on

Companies would not even think about backing up data on an optical disk - one scratch and 50gb of data is lost.

It will come down to cost and availability - but it wont matter as new drives/players will be able to play/read/write-to both formats.

Lol, I read somewhere that Sony might be releasing some games on Dual Layer Blu-Rays which means 100 gigs of gaming. Can you imagine a game like GTA: SA but 10 times bigger? That would be awesome.

Graphics will be slightly better, but it will depend on what sort of TV you have.
Needs to be HDTV.
