Is HD DVD really more affordable ?

Posted by oscar on August 21, 2007 at 05:24:59:
Economies of scale would eventually drive Blu-Ray (and HD DVD) hardware costs to something close to DVD player prices. The software costs are essentially a wash with the exception of the Universal combo discs which are more expensive.

I'd just soon opt for the format with the best potential for PQ/SQ with movies (and STILL the best studio/CE support). That's Blu-Ray until proven conclusively the extra storage/bandwidth makes absolutely no difference.
