The HD-DVD is the cheaper format as it uses the current DVD manufacturing infrastructure for it's production. Blu-Ray is being pushed by the studio because of it's supposed anti-piracy advantages over hddvd. Unfortunately it will ultimately be the ignorance of the market that will help blu-ray "win". Here's an example, how many of your blu-ray owners actually poses a major studio release or video game that utilizes the 60gb capacity that you always parrot to proclaim blu ray's suprmacy? How many that utilize 50gb? 40gb? The real truth is that in practical consumer applications there is no capacity advantage for either format, just Sony's marketing's cool product naming. It's sad too that I read how tech savvy a lot of people are but they once again get duped by fancy packaging.
