hi users im thinking of getting a hd/dvd or maybe blue ray what is the best one to go with ? i was thinking of getting a ps3 or maybe just a normall blue ray machine all regions.if blue ray what is a very good machine ? im told blue ray has better sound over hd/dvd is this true ? also there are some films that i would like on hd/dvd but dont think will come out on blue like the matrix ? what are your opions ? what have used ? what shoud i go for please be honest thank you

*sigh*, if you go BluRay (which I prefer), I'd say get the PS3. That said, you should've just asked "Which color is better, red or blue?"....or "Which party is better, Republicans or Democrats?"...or "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?".

Egg!!

Wrong! The chicken is clearly better. It's been fully developed and is finalized. With those eggs, they're clearly not yet finalized and who knows if they'll be able to satisfy the needs of future users!

Do you love America? Because if you do, choose HD DVD. If you choose Blu-ray, its because you hate America and want little kids to die.

Ok, seriously....Amazon.com. Look at the available movies...put a list together of which ones you like the most, then buy said format

Which one has the most movies you want to watch?

I'd say look at the list of titles on both formats -- what's out now and what's slated to come out through the end of the year -- and pick the one that looks like it has the most movies you want.

At this point, I'd have a hard time choosing. I'm very happy with both formats, and I'd feel as if I were missing out on too many movies if I chose one over the other. For what it's worth, though, the PS3 is a phenomenal player.

Edited to add: That seems to be the common sentiment, so I guess there's a consensus. These 'versus' sorts of threads tend to go sour pretty quickly, so I'll close this before anything really nasty happens.
