I just wanted to mention another important aspect to this debate for me, which is how much data each format can hold. Currently Blu-ray specs claim to be able to store almost twice as much data as HD-DVD. I am a photographer, and honestly, doing backups everyday is painful when you generate up to 25gb of new content daily shooting RAW and capturing audio in the field.
