HD DVD vs Blue-Ray: What to choose
Filed in archive DVD by Elwyn Jenkins on August 22, 2007

So which of these two formats is going to win? If you believe Blockbuster (Blockbuster chooses Blu-ray; Should you?) then you might as well go out and buy yourself a Blue-Ray player to add to the arcenal of players you have in your home theater
. If you believe what is happening in Europe (HD Format War Limps On: HD DVD Up in Europe) then you might find yourself a good HD DVD player.
However, the best path of all, just in case one gets up and beats the other one is to buy a player that plays both formats (see Blue Ray Vs HD DVD - The Format War).
There are a couple of alternatives out there worth looking at. LG and Samsung have produced a universal player which plays both formats.

However, adorning your home theater with one of the universal players might not be the thing to do right now. The price on these players is at a premium. Later on when a second version of these players becomes available you will find prices to be at a far more bearable level. BUT if you just have to go and get one to make your home theater the place to be with new DVD releases, then by all means go and buy a universal player and stay away from either the HD DVD or Blue Ray Players. Better to be safe than have to pay out another large amount when you find the opposite format to the player you installed actually wins.
