HD DVD is superior then Blu-Ray. It's an already established format which requires very llittle firmware upgrades.
Blu-Ray is in no way a better solution. It's a complete mess, and all the drives being sold today do not have internet connectivity & interaction. HD DVD has this becuase it's mantatory, and it works quite well indeed. If you want it for Blu-Ray, then maybe it will come in 2008, but wait? You still need to go out & buy another Blu-Ray drive LOL, That's Sony making you buy 2 Blu-Ray players LOL

Congrat's Sony for your stupidity
HD DVD is much cheaper to produce, so whether you sell less of them or more of them, there is always money going into studio's pockets. Blu-Ray is opposite, studio's are losing money regardless of how many discs are being sold.
The only reason why VHS was over BetaMax was becuase of the multi-billion $$$$ porn industry. And good for them, I don't like Sony created products forced down our throats.
