Steve, I agree with most of what you said except for the part of HD-DVD being "slightly better." Most reviews I've read are saying that it's not much better than SD-DVD and nowhere near as good as HD-DVD.
As you said, the gap should greatly close if Sony ever decides to start using a better codec and if they can ever produce BD-DL in any sort of quantity (I know a couple of movies have been announced, but Blu-Ray titles have been known to slip so I'll believe it when I see it).
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
