Same death as Beta VCR. A better system but more advertising weight on
the lower
quality machines.

Whats better about HD-DVD?? Blue ray is higher capacity. Thats better in my
book although I really don't care about either format except for data
storage. DVD is plenty high resolution for me.

HD DVD may be a bit cheaper, though I can't see that it's dramatically
so. The similarities far outweigh the differences. It came down to:
In order not to repeat the Beta/VHS fiasco, one had to win, and early

Blu-ray sounds cooler. .
