I'm an Electronics technician, this is going back to the days when Beta vs VHS
Both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD discs enable HDTV reproduction because of their massive storage capacities. Using dual-layer techniques, HD-DVD can store as much as 30 gigabytes of data while a Blu-Ray disc can pack in a whopping 50 gigabytes. In the lab, techies already are working on several-layered discs that could allow more than 100 gigabytes of storage on one disc. That's enough for several HDTV movies, special features and compelling interactive content. Or a content provider could put more than 100 hours of standard-definition quality programming on one DVD.
It's gonna be a battle of who is the fastest and the cheapest, that will determine the winner!

STD def looks fine on a 4:3 aspect ratio. Put it on an LCD, stretch it - it looks like shit.
HD looks good on my LCD.
Price? Not worth it yet to be honest.
I called comcast and got fucken hostile with them
"why dont you offer an all HD service, I hate standard definition"
"I'm sorry sir, I think you would be in the minority of people wanting that"
exactly a month later, DishNetwork is advertising an ALL HD service!! Motherfuckers.

HD is the only way to watch football. I love the NFL Sunday ticket in HD. Especially the Red Zone channel that shows the games of the teams that are in the Red Zone! Then there is the game mix that shows 8 games at once and you can move from game to game to hear the audio. I have a 60" screen so each one is about 16", great to see so many games at once beats having a bunch of tv's all over the room.

Doesn't ESPN show their HD in 720p? I don't believe all shows in HD are 1080I.
For those of you that don't know the differance between the "I" and the "P"
I(1080I) means the picture is "interlaced" meaning each screenshot shows half the picture, every other line, then it shows the other half. and ur eyes/brain fill in the blanks.
P(720P, 1080P) means "progressive" meaning the whole picture is shown for every frame giving you a cleaner/crisper look because there are no blanks to be fille in.
Currently (to my understanding) different shows/channels broadcast in either 720p or 1080i based on what they feel is the most clear(or profitable).
Yeah compression tech is the current big push, especially in games. Ask John Carmack.
