These two new Home Movie Disc formats are battling it out for market domination. The early lead was given to Blu-Ray (which is made by Sony), mostly because the PS3 franchise was riding on the technology. HD DVD (I think headed up by toshiba?) was slow to get going, but seems to be in the lead at the moment...really interesting stuff. It seems to be a case where neither one has a technological advantage over the other, and its purely up to what the consumers choose.
If you're not sure what all this is...

Has anyone bought either of these types of players? Obviously the picture will be an upgrade, but the sound Im not sure of.
EDIT: Just noticed this was my 1000th post, not to toot my own horn or anything. Woo!
