The quality has nothing to do with disk size. I'm not too sure at the moment which is better. In their infancy, HD-DVD had higher quality. As I said though. Has little too nothing to do with the medium, but rather how well it was coded and yada, yada.

you can put hd material on a cd if it fits haha.

its more to do with what quality monitor or tv you have, not the type of disc.

A 1080p monitor won't display a DVD 1080p

The disk doesn't matter, so much, as the video on. As someone mentioned, you could easily play HD videos from a CD. There's even more of a "fake" standard(most DVD players won't accept it) that allows about 15 minutes of DVD quality video on a CD-R.

so yeh, bsically get a decent monitor and then you should be set for some immense gaming action!!

bluray and HD both use the same codecs, so theoretically, a bluray could have better quality on a long movie vs. the HD, but HD-dvd is the official format, sony just always has to have their BS secondary format.

Sony has created: Beta/betamax/superbeta/superdvd/minidisc/umd, and i'm sure there's more than i've forgotten.

I wouldn't be caught dead buying into the sony format, honestly. Their formats are a failure EVERY time.
