I've just been phoned and asked which format to purchase as a Christmas gift, as I am supposed to be the tech-savvy and knowledgeable member of the extended family. Honestly I don't really know.

I told her blu-ray, and I was under the impression that is has taken a pretty big lead over hd-dvd. I'm also under the impression that neither format is inherently superior, and I'm guessing that in the long run, one of the formats will prevail.

Was I wrong? A cursory google search seems to indicate that there are more blurays out there, but mostly due to the ps3. Have any tfpers bought HD generation players, and which did you choose?
