*Updated* Bluray Vs HD-DVD
 HD DVD SPECS HD DVD Blu-ray Playback capacity single-layer Single-layer (15GB); dual-layer (30GB) Recording capacity single-layer (20GB); dual-layer (40GB) Data transfer rate for playback 36Mbps Structure "Evolutionary" disc structure is similar to DVD, allowing more affordable discs and players Manufacturers Toshiba, NEC, Sanyo, Thomson Supported by DVD Forum Yes Movie studios Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema, Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures BLU RAY SPECS Playback capacity single-layer (25GB); dual-layer (50GB) Recording capacity single-layer (25GB); dual-layer (50GB) Data transfer rate for playback 36Mbps Structure "Revolutionary" disc structure designed from the ground up for high-definition, will require new disc replication equipment Manufacturers Sony, Samsung, Mitsubishi, Philips, Matsushita (Panasonic), Pioneer, Dell, HP, Thomson (over 100 companies are members of Blu-ray Disc Association) Supported by DVD Forum No Movie studios Columbia/TriStar Pictures, MGM, Disney What Blu-ray and HD DVD have in common Although there are important differences between the two formats, there are many characteristics they share:
With so much in common, the obvious question — and one being asked by consumers, electronics retailers, and Hollywood — is why can't manufacturers compromise on a single high-definition disc format, and avoid the confusion and inconvenience of a Betamax/VHS-style format war? That question was never addressed in detail at CES, but apparently the two discs' physical differences make it difficult to combine them (and may also prevent or delay the introduction of dual-format "universal" players). "What has to be given up to unify the two standards? Practically everything. It's too important to compromise," said one Blu-ray Disc Association spokesperson. How Blu-ray and HD DVD are different The key difference between the formats is storage capacity. A single-layer HD DVD holds up to 15GB, while a single-layer Blu-ray disc goes up to 25GB (by comparison, a single-layer standard DVD only holds 4.7GB). Blu-ray achieves its 60% greater capacity by having smaller data pits than HD DVD, and by putting the data layer closer to the disc's surface. Hope this helps anyone puzzled by these new types of Media, Cheers,

 Blu-Ray's got a lot more up its sleeve than just Hi-Def pictures... Thanks to T3 for the following: We took a trip to see Sony today, for a proper look under the bonnet of all those lovely Blu-Ray Players we’ll be buying this Christmas, and to see what the future holds for Sony’s Hi-Def platform. For a start, the capabilities of current Blu-Ray discs are just the tip of the Hi-Def iceberg – they’ll hold around 50-gig of data at the moment, but Sony says its intricate layering system means up to 200-gig discs are possible. It’s that space that allows the next impressive advantage – uncompressed audio in full 5.1 surround. That means Blu-Ray boasts better quality sound than you’ll get at your local multiplex, at least until digital cinema really takes off in Britain. Even the menus gracing Blu-Ray titles have been given an overhaul, with Sony saying new animations, sounds and fast page changes will make watching a film at home much more pleasurable. Blu-Ray even supports downloadable subtitles, so if a film isn’t immediately subtitled to your native language, a quick trip online can rectify the problem. That network connectivity, coupled with local storage, either inside the player or through flash cards, will also let you download new content. Sony says studios will offer new trailers whenever you insert one of their discs – something that could keep films feeling fresh, even after you’ve owned them for a while. Extra content won’t just come in the form of videos and trailers though. Sony’s BD-J system lets Java programs run from the discs, opening up the possibility of real games being bundled with films. Think mobile phone games, but bigger and better. There are even rumblings that chat-style applications could accompany films, letting you waffle in real time with others watching the same movie, so you can all decide whether the butler did it half way through. Blu-Ray also lets you enjoy picture-in-picture goodies, like video commentaries from directors. Imagine Peter Jackson popping up to point out the intricacies of his latest flick, or George Lucas looming out of your telly to apologise for the Star Wars prequels. It’s a tempting prospect. All this content can be tagged to specific points in the film too, and live audio mixing means it all sounds crisp, clean and well balanced. And now for the bad news. Sony’s Playstation 3 is the only device anywhere near the horizon capable of exploiting all these whizzy new features. Third party players capable of downloading new video, running java games and displaying picture-in-picture will appear next summer, while Sony itself will launch players in the spring. That’s around the same as the PS3 arrives

It's a tough call to make. With the major film companies behind HD and Disney behind Blue ray.. the Blue ray specs being revoluationary should win out, but the HD specs are eveolutionary which may win out for being cheaper.. but the appeal of uncompressed sound is too much to ignore! I'm torn...
