Can hold and does hold are two different things. If in the end, the discs released have the same codecs, remastering and level of content and in an A/B comparison you can't tell a Blu-ray release from the same movie released on an HD-DVD, then the 20 gigs of 'warehouse' space doesn't mean zip; you can put that in your zip-file and smoke it!
AFAIK, both formats have sufficient capacity to reproduce most films in 1080P with high rez audio. Learning about how the film was produced isn't of much interest to me.
I chose HD-DVD after spending several hours reviewing the software available in the two formats. (Scanned through some 400 Blu-Ray and 400 HD-DVD discs listed on both Amazon and B&N). To me, with respect to those titles released only in one format, it seemed in general that Blu-ray was pitching to the adolescent/male teen age crowd, while HD-DVD was at least considering adult tastes in more selections. - More arts, classical music, classical and AAward films. (If you disagree with this analysis, have you also taken the time to go through the listings of both formats on Amazon, B&N, etc.?)
But like many others, I intend eventually to get a Blu-ray player also, so
I'll be format neutral at that point. I'll rent most discs rather than buy until the format war dust settles.
