Blu Ray or HD DVD

I was just configuring a system online for a friend of mine and this vendor offered BluRay as an option. A good touch, considering that the older DVD format is still popular with no real conclusion whether it'll be Blu Ray or HD DVD or some hybrid format. However, a quick search reveals that Blu Ray seems to be ahead in the race as compared to HD DVD, despite a number of major IT names like Microsoft, HP, Alpine, Intel, Fujitsu supporting the format. However, with the Sony PSP3 featuring a BD Drive and with it having an almost cult following, it's no surprise that BD seems to be the more popular format. Let's see where this leads.

Blue ray is appearing as the winner though, with Hollywood adopting it just in time for CES.
