How much are the actual HD DVDs and Blu Ray dics????
actually its a bad idea as far as marketing goes for a product to be higher then its competitor considering they are both new market technology

HD DVD = 499 /// media = 19.99+

Blu-Ray = 999 /// media = 24.99+

its all going to come down to availability + cost thats always been the name of the game from floppy, zip, super, ram drive, dvd, harddrive, etc... whoever can get it in the consumers hands first will win do a quick search on dvd media on ebay and see how many are listed for both. i know best buy online was sold out on HD DVD players as well.
