It's not about one or the other, not to anyone reasonable.
Unfortunately Blu-ray attracts the very sort who act as if anything else is rubbish, thanks to the PS3.
Too many fail to understand compression and bitrates and cheer for spec numbers with no understanding of how they work in the real world or how little they mean to most.
The high definition world will be split & spread over more and more formats and outlets as time goes by, Blu-ray will just be a part of that - and probably only a minority part.
I've watched a few Blu-rays that have only have a Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track. If the films good and the receiver & speakers are good it's not a great handicap.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
