HD DVD vs. Blu-ray

Unless you've been living in a hole in the ground, you're aware of the current battle between HD DVD and Blu-ray. There are pros and cons to both formats, but I'm pretty sure HD DVD will arise victorious, thanks to its low price point and its familiar name.

HD DVD Pros:
Affordable Players
Studios On Board: Warner Bros, Universal, Paramount, and Weinsten Company
Affordable X-Box drive now in stores

HD DVD Cons:
Discs hold less space than Blu-Ray

Blu-ray Pros:
More Space on discs
Playstation 3 Compatible
Studios On Board: Warner Bros, Sony, Fox, Buena Vista, Paramount, Lions Gate

Blu-ray Cons:
Expensive Players

Here's an interesting article from DVD Town on whether or not the Playstation 3 is helping Blu-ray sales.
