1. Easy on the racial comments
2. Blue Ray isnt all that great. Being essentially a proprietory technique spearheaded by Sony isnt exactly what i'd call convincing

I like the format. It has a lot to offer, but god forbid we accept a change in our comfort zone. They are experimenting on adding more layers and acheive storage un heard of with HD-DVD

Why do we need that big of a disk for HD?
