A Statistical Comparison of HD DVD & Blu-Ray Reviews

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the on-the-fence dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Gizmodo today posted a statistical comparison of over 300 HD DVD and Blu-ray reviews published at High-Def Digest since the start of the high-def format wars last Spring. Their findings? Overall video quality between the two formats is nearly identical, however Blu-ray titles were slightly, but definitely superior in audio playback, while HD DVD titles had far superior standard def features and moderately superior high-def features."

    No, HD-DVD will win because fewer people misspell it, so more people will be able to Google it properly.

    I think I'm going to start a porn site and call it "blue ray." I could make millions!
