Yes, they get their point accross regarding High Def, but HD-DVD is also High Def, so why would I pick Blu-Ray? The biggest benefits to Blu-Ray are technical, so even if the display quality of the content is not the same the use of other technology doesn't prove or support the product in question. Anyone can make a DVD-R with High Def content that will play on a PC. Both of the new specifications also support Red-Laser extensions that allow creating DVD-9 with High Def content on them. That may have been what was on the disc, but the point is, this isn't evidence of the ability of the Blue-Laser technology. Both of these technologies, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray, are pushing more storage and new laser technologies as well as High Definition; if you're demonstrating that, then show me the new disc, I can see High Defintion on a DVD-R at home.
