Blu-ray is the better technology so I'm glad it won out.

Good deal on some Blu-ray DVD's here. I ordered a bunch myself.

I agree with you Cru....Blu-ray does have a slightly better quality over HD-DVDs. Now I just want them to come down in price so they are more affortable.

Glad the war is over, I was actually thinking about purchasing a Blu Ray/HD DVD unit last week and wasn't sure which one. I'm probably going to wait for the new PS3.

That's why I posted a link to that sale. I couldn't believe they were selling Blu-ray DVD's for $12 and $16. They were some pretty good titles too.
