Format Features and Specs:
While both sides claim technical superiority in this format battle, the capabilities of the two different formats are not really all that different. The largest difference between the media types is disc capacity. A HD DVD double layer disc hols 30 GB, while a double Blu-Ray can hold 50 GB.This could mean that longer movies in full 1080p resolution could be fit on a Blu-ray disc than on an HD DVD, or that Blu-ray could be able to offer more extra features on discs. HD DVD and BL can both play older dvds as well as upconvert regular dvds to watch on an HDTV.
Your favorite video game platform may help in your decision. Blu-Ray technology is used on the Playstation 3, which plays BR discs, while the Xbox supports the HD DVD.


Upconverting DVD Players are another way to go. The Upconverting DVD Player is a resonably priced alternative to HD DVD or Blu-ray players. Upconverters use software to analyze the original 480p DVD video signal and interpolate the missing information to fill in the gaps and output a higher resolution version. The images are not going to be as good as those from the native 1080p HD signal coming from an HD DVD or a Blu-ray disc, but according to customer reviews on these items, many people think it's good enough and some claim they can't tell the difference.

Currently a Blu-Ray players are priced higher than HD DVD players and the movie discs are more expensive as well.
Conclusion:
Go with Blu-Ray for the chosen media format with a premium price. On the other hand, the HD DVD format may for you if you have a limited budget and a dvd collection. Either one goes well with a Wireless Home Theater System
