Jason, I can't remember the details off the top of my head but Blu-Ray has greater bandwidth capacity to handle the highest quality video and audio streams where HD-DVD does not.

I'm sure the capacity battle will go back and forth as each camp adds layers. I think we just need to give it time for the price and quality issues to shake out.
