What's with all the early-adopting attitude? How about one waits another year to see which format actually wins instead of spending something like 40-50k on a player (let's not forget one has to buy the movies to watch them).

And the laptop, I don't think watching 1080p on a 15/17 inch laptop screen is going to make any difference....

Oh and by the way, it is "Blu-ray", and not "Blue Ray"

Currently, the HD DVDs titles look much better than the Blu-Ray titles. I think I'm going to change my vote to HD-DVD...

Naw, a player is already out with both blu and HD support, a drive is yet to come.

Btw, whatever happened to HD? Havent heard much from it lately, nor seein it in newspapers unlike Sony and its ads on Blu.

MRPs of Sony Blue Ray Discs are Rs.1250/- and Rs.1000/-. Both 25 GB. Street prices should be lower and the prices should come down drastically once the drives become common, as in the case of both CD and DVD. See the link below.
