Since we all know about Microsoft's HD-DVD option and Sony's Blu-Ray on PS3, it's time for a perspective at this point.
HD-DVD: Already out, $499 entry price by Toshiba. Backed by a $200-$300 option by Microsoft's Xbox 360. Does 720p/1080i upconversion on existing DVD media through HDMI. Certain movie studios backing this.
Blu-Ray: Comes out later this year. Standalone players expected to debut at $999. 1080p is possible through HDMI. PS3 will natively carry this at $499/$599. Certain movie studios backing this.
I thought E3 would help me decide in which format to support. It really hasn't done squat. I think if the PS3's high price point would have been at $399, then Blu-Ray would win hands down. We'll have to see what's going on as time gets closer to the Blu-Ray launch in order to determine the DVD format of the future.
