Why do I get the distinct impression that Blu-Ray is favored over HD-DVD in several posts on this and other forums? Particularly by one individual.

I personally am not a fan of either format. Until there is an obvious winner (obvious meaning the other format stops production) or a true high quality dual format player becomes available I will not purchase either.

I made that mistake when I bought a Sony Beta player way back when. Now I have about 150 Beta tapes sitting in the attic collecting dust.
