I dont know anything about HD-DVD so I dint mention it, but who is backing it?

Microsoft, Disney, Intel, a bunch of others.

Chesire Cat:
Well then you just made up my mind.  When everyone is willing to comprimise on a medium, its not a single company trying to forcefully make it the dominant one.

Its everyone trying to co-operate and not make everything more difficult by each company developing their own.

HD-DVD for the win.

Look at the list of supporting companies. It's not as clear cut as you're trying so hard to make it. Both sides have large numbers of backers. Some companies (Disney for one) back both.

Chesire Cat:
Im not "trying" to do anything, I just have ignorance and sonys history on my side.

But after seeing the pedigrees of the two.  I am not too sure which I would choose.  Are they both backwards compatable with regular DVDs and CDs?

Rubby:
Yes they both will be due to dual-laser technology in new players. So yeah.
