Question for HD DVD owners and enthusiasts?
It looks as though the format wars are coming to an end with Blu-ray now controlling 70% of the market. Alot of people who love their HD DVD players are very upset, and many believe HD DVD to be the superior format, something I do not understand. so here comes the question...
..What is it (other than the price), in your opinion, that makes the HD DVD format superior to Blu-ray?
This is a serious question. I am a Blu-ray owner. I made my decision based on technical spec's, so please, enlighten me as to what I am missing or didnt take into consideration with the HD DVD format.
Thanks.

Both HD DVD and Blu ray use exactly the same video codecs, so from a picture quality point of view they are the same.
HD DVDs are cheaper to make but BD Discs have more capacity.
So, from a technology point of view, BD looks superior, however, economics (as in cheaper) have beaten technology many times before (ex. LCD vs Plasma).
