Blu-ray recorders make sense for some with the LG model doing 6x it is faster than the fastest DVD recorders out there.

HD-DVD, on the other hand, just doesn’t make sense yet. Only 1x recorders available which are over 4 times slower than a 16x DVD recorder. You might as well record 2 DVDs in half the time to store your data.

Better than HD-DVD has nothing to compare to. So Technically, blue-ray is expanding and HD-DVD is just talking.

Right now none of these drives means much of anything to anybody.

They are far too expensive and far too immature for many to be bothering with and so have only sold in minute numbers.

They are about as far away from being a mainstream product as it’s possible to get (without actually being a prototype lab-special).

Which means that Blu-ray’s supposed early lead in this area is utterly meaningless – just like the other imagined Blu-ray lead in the movie disc sales.

It’s way too early to be making the kind of big claims the Blu-ray gang keep trying to use to talk up their preferred format.

But nevertheless mere ‘talking up’ is really all it is at this stage.
