We dodged a huge bullet there and are really happy we made the change. Blue-ray is indeed a better format than HD DVD (although a lot of that is production) and we got a great gaming console out of the mix too.
How is Blu-Ray a better product? I have both and visually there is no difference. Audio, well not much difference either though I do like the uncompressed PCM track on BD. Fox who is BD exclusive only has a DTS-MA track on it, the PS3 can't decode that audio track. As far a special feature go. HD DVD could do the online special features from day one. BD is just coming out with Profile 2.0 witch can do the online special features, btw there aren't many players out that meet the 2.0 spec, other than the PS3.
