Blu-Ray and HD DVD

I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about the difference I was going to see from a Blu-Ray (BD) disc movie to a regular DVD movie playback. Well, after watching the same movie (X-Men III) on both formats, I was blown away with the quality of the Blu-Ray. I am definitely going to switch from buying regular DVD's to buying Blu-Ray discs. I mean to tell you that I was pleasantly surprised not only in the resolution and the true HD output, but also how well the HDMI cable transmits audio. I am sold. Right now there aren't that many movies in BD format but there are more and more being released on a daily basis. Even Netflix has a selection of about 200. Now all this also makes me wonder about HD DVD's. I have been following and trying to speculate which version is going to better the other. I still don't have an opinion on the matter, but I did notice that there are a ton of overlapping movies on each format. It seams like quite a few of the companies have decided to go all three ways (regular DVD, BD, and HD DVD). I checked on a HD DVD player and they will run about $500. I might spring for one sometime, but before I do I will have to upgrade my TV. There is nothing wrong with my current TV, except the fact that it doesn't have enough HMDI inputs. That is kind of a bummer.
