Answer 3

Hi Arthur,

HD DVD (Toshiba) vs Blu Ray (Sony).

The battle is over and Sony has won. Toshiba has announced they will discontinue production of HD DVD players.

The differences are (were) –

Both use interactive menus but differences are – Blu-Ray capacity is 50Gb and HD-DVD is 30Gb. HD-DVD is region free while Blu-Ray is divided into three regions. (Figures Sony will try to stick it to the consumer) A disadvantage to HD-DVD is they are not all hard coated as are the Blu-Ray. HD-DVDs scratch as easily as regular DVDs while the Blu-Ray are more scratch resistant.
