Right now, at this point in time, I really want a Blu-Ray player. But they are still crazy expensive. Not to mention, Heroes is coming to HD-DVD as well as DVD and Blu-Ray and HD-DVD are not compatible.
On the other side of the issue, if you buy a Blu-Ray player right now you get 5 Blu-Ray discs for free (from the limited selection of the offer, but come on, I never met a movie I couldn't watch) so that's an incentive. http://www.bluraysavings.com/
I know I should wait before investing in either format, because either or both could go the way of the dinosaur.
*sigh*

*raises eyebrow* Are you taunting me?
HD-DVD is cheaper. I can even get the player that plugs into my Xbox.
Split the difference and buy me a Wii.
Blue Ray is going to win.
The Wii rocks.
The Wii does rock. One day I'm going to get that 300 in bowling. Trauma Center is a lot of fun, too.
I like tennis, but I'm best at bowling.
I'm not a big fan of baseball, though.
from the little i've read, blue ray is leading.
blu-ray is better technology
I have had an iTunes account for three years, and I just bought my first iPod. My iPod is cool.
I have an iPod, too. Just a 4gb Nano, though. I don't have nearly enough music to fill it up.

I bought "Weeds" seasons 1 & 2, and a couple of comedy specials. I am going to start burning my cds soon.
I will be gone soon, and will need to fill a lot of airport time.

hd-dvd is cooler to say out loud
Blu-Ray is leading in the professional industry, but there isn't a clear winner yet in the commercial industry. The likely bet, as everyone mentioned above, is Blu-Ray.
That said, nothing is 100% for sure. In fact, I read last week that there is a new contender, a third form of HD DVD technology, that is supposedly about to rise up. Will it happen? Will it have an impact? Who knows.
I'm still of the opinion that it's a better idea to hold off on HD until a clear winner emerges, unless you're a big technophile who absolutely has to have the latest technology.
I think my dad still has his Laser Disc player if you want it.

my parents have a laser disc karaoke. It was cooler than these "DVD 300 songs in one disc" types because you got video with it.
Beefy isn't there a very specific reason why certain people in the AV community still like laser disc?

Nostalgia? I still have mine.
Laserdiscs experience laser rot after a number of years. And it's been how long since laserdiscs were produced...?

Blu-Ray is a Sony format. Like Beta and MiniDisc.

Not that I am cheering for one side, but at least we don't have to worry if we are buying the right format. At least for a while until Super 3D 9.1 THX BetaBluVHS Super Disc thingy comes out in two years.

And I'm totally on-board for that!
They won because it's easier to say "Blu-Ray" than "HD-DVD".

You joke, but that may have been a factor. They should've just called it HDVD.
I think they put a dog in the middle of the room and had each player call to it. The dog ran right over to Blue-Ray.

It means the dog likes her.
Just got to try out TV-zilla with Ursus' laptop/blu-ray player.
We're total nerds and went and got Blu-Ray copies of movies we already own, so we can check out the difference between the two to see if it's worth it.
So worth it.
Star Trek on Blu Ray- awesome. 300 on Blu Ray- outstanding. Both on TV-zilla with Blu Ray? FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC.

In the opening sequence when all the girls are swimming around. Always thought they were wearing bathing suits.
Not the case.
