after this information,, now is up to you guys and girls to choose which drive (Blu-ray or HD DVD) will be use in your home theatre?
I will probably have to buy both Blu-ray and HD-DVD, as most of my fav tv shows are spread on both formats.
Although I know that HD-DVD have the same build like normal dvds, two pieces of plastic glued together, as the data is more dense any scratch is likely to make the disc useless.
Blu-ray has that anti-scratch layer on the surface, althouh the data is only 0.1mm from the surface its likely get damaged, or the reflective layer get oxidised. Both Blu-ray and HD-DVD use alluminium thats a major drawback, why cant they use gold.
Also I will never buy any format in which the movies you buy, cannot be backed up, cause I only watched my backed up copies of films.
