Let’s have a logical non-emotional discussion about the HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray Format War. I do not like to have debates based solely on “opinions” because you can not prove "opinions" right or wrong. But if you backup your beliefs with “facts” or “reasoning” then it’s fair because we can argue your "facts/reasoning" and prove them valid/invalid. Also let's keep this thread as a debate on which format is going to win and why, instead of a technical debate on which format is better. Try to list your "facts" then give us your reasoning/opinion... It makes it easier to follow... Keep in mind that facts can change (ie: sales figures or dates)...
Possible Facts: Please feel free to debate…
