The same. I have a Panny BD30K and a Tosh XA2. Same picture, same quality of sound. Bought 11 new movies today and 8 were BR of the bunch. But I have almost 70 HD DVD's and need to build up my BR library.
thanks for the quick feedback...So, is it the norm to have both format players???is there a universal player out there that can do both BR and HD?

So, which is the winner???I know Warner is releasing, as of April 08, all on Blu-Ray, but which is better to have?I bought a Samsung P1400 and the picture is great, but I've heard that the HD format is even better and the Toshiba players are even cheaper...what should one do? ThanksT
At this point, I am not going to get a blue-ray either. Because, even as we speak we know there are better formats around the corner. I am not blowing smoke either. Plus, it to expensive for the software, and the most upgradeable machine out there is the PS3. Which I am not a fan of, or rather not a fan of the manufacturer.
Having both players Toshiba HD A3 and a Philips BDP9000 Blu Ray player.I can say out of 21 people we had over one night to watch the new Pirates.We have both formats and using the same cable switch between the 2 pictures on our Pany plasma and out of the 21 people over only 19 picked the blue ray over the HD.
The copy infringement is a joke, even BR is able to be partially hacked into now. I was just putting it out there that legally cheap DVD's will be able to be bought over the internet that are every way as High Res as BR. Right now, you can go to China and get legal copies of Bollywood and Hollywood dvd's for around $3. I personally believe that downloadable content will be the way to get the best priced HD content.Glad to see that you will not wasting your money as well on this format, Marbles.

All of the pirates movies are blu-exclusive. This isn't a test of blu vs hd dvd but rather blu vs normal dvd upscaling.Of course the blu is going to be a better picture than than a normal dvd.
Here are two clues that another format will soon be coming. How about cheap internet versions of the same films but on an even cheaper of hardware http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/china-announces-ch-dvd-a-new-high-definition-dvd-standard/I already alluded to this one (in previous thread), coming from Japan. This isn't a format per se, but if you build it they will want it. Coming out in 2015, which is within your stated 10 years. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7205338.stmI was all for HD, but I am cannot afford to replace all my DVD's to BR and then to something else entirely in less than 10 years. I have a nice upconverting DVD player, and satellite and/or cable gives great HD to my LCD.
