Blu-Ray Vs HD-DVD - What's All the Fuss?

Since Blu-ray hit the market in 2005, there has been an ongoing debate over its ability to survive long term. Would Blu-ray, so named for the blue violet laser beams instead of red laser used in the making of CDs and DVDs, replace standard DVDs just as standard DVDs replaced VHS before it?

Blu-Ray Vs HD-DVD - What's All the Fuss?

The writing on the wall says "yes."

The main advanTAGe of Blu-ray technology is its capability to store massive amounts of data in one disc. Blu-ray has 66% more overall storage capacity than HD-DVD and stores nearly five times more data than standard CDs--enabling users to store an average of 25GB-27GB worth of data into just one layer. This is equivalent to 4 hours worth of HD video and audio. The more data you have, the more data can be read to give a clearer picture with more color and vividness.

On the downside, Blu-ray discs are still quite expensive; although, the price has dropped considerably over the last year. Consumers, who had taken a wait and see approach in the battle between HD-DVD and Blu-ray technology are beginning to view Blu-ray as an inevitability. And why not? Blu-ray has the backing of corporate giants Sony, Sharp, LG Electronics, Dell, HP, Kenwood, FujiFilm, JVC, Panasonic, Philips, Hitachi, Samsung, 20th Century Fox, and about 50+ other companies. Moreover, making the switch to Blu-ray does not mean consumers will have to discard standard DVDs. They can still be enjoyed through the new medium.

At the end of the day, Blu-ray is not only technically superior to HD-DVD, it has demonstrated its ability to have more content available to push the format.
