Less bandwidth, less capacity.

No thanks, the HD DVD format has not proved to be better in my eyes.
Hardly any use of lossless audio despite TrueHD being mandatory in
players.

Blu-ray - 120+ discs with lossless audio
HD DVD - 30 something

HD DVD has been out two months longer and they have the audacity to
say they are the look and sound of perfect. I'm sorry, but lossy Dolby
Digital Plus at 1.5 Mbps is not perfect. Blu-ray is spanking HD DVD
left, right and centre in the audio department and has been the far
more consistent format so far this year for picture quality as well.

Life would have been so much simpler if Microsoft had stayed out of it
and then Toshiba would have not been able to launch their stupid
inferior format.
