"Like Dave and many others it has taken a few attempts to successfully download the 6GB files. We also find it hard to believe that a 6GB version could look as good as the 30GB version on HD DVD and at the rate of some of the download speeds it would be faster to rent it from Netflix or go down to Blockbuster, not to mention if you have HD VOD in your area."

OK, here is the thing. When this service was firstly introduced, it was a bumpy ride. But now the downloading was quite seamless and fast. All the HD content on Xbox live marketplace was in WMV-HD format and it looks as good as a 30 GB HD-DVD. It's not that hard to believe. HD really does not need huge storage disk. Microsoft cannot force everyone to use wmv-HD as teh HD movie format but wmv-hd is indeed a good format. About Netflix or blockbuster argument, hey, do you need either an HD-DVD player or Blu-ray player to watch those disks? I thought the whole point of Xbox live offering HD content is to get around buying expensive next-gen DVD players, right, Ben?

What a monstrous rip-off!!!

Here is my opinion. Neither will win. People are happy with DVD. Honestly when do you think either BR or HD will have comparable movie/TV library as DVD? In 2015? The advancement of technology is accelerating and probably in 5 years' time a new type of media will be available.
However, if you wanna ingore the elephant in the room and only comapre BR and HD, that is totally fine. It is still fun.
