HP5: Blu-Ray or HD-DVD

Sorry, been awhile since I have posted.

Which version are you going to buy? I am still unsure about which format is best for this disc. The red camp offers interactivity, while the blue camp offers extras in full HD...

Thoughts?

Thanks,

John

At this stage of the game, I would have to recommend the BD.

Go with HD DVD. Online Interactive features and IME rule over a 40 minute documentary that is 20+ minutes of footage from the movie and 10 minutes of unaired scenes that are in HD.

Thanks for the sarcasm. When I tried searching last night, I kept getting some kind of error.

I'm the direct opposite. So far IME has not been what i thought it would be. I can definitely live without it. I prefer the doc and deleted scenes in HD, so I'm going with the BD.
