better quality picture, which is more expensive. even tho HD is available without needing blue-ray.
Well, blu-ray can hold up to 80 gigs of uncompressed data... However, who in their right mind are going to buy a $40 slightly better Blue-ray DVD than a $20 DVD (I'm talking about movies, here)? Yea, it'll look a tiny bet better, but come on.
Blu-ray is nothing special, at least IMO.

the xbox 360 uses standard DVD's. there is a HD-DVD (like blu-ray but holds like 60 instead of 80 gigs) attachment thats coming out for it but it will only play movies

really? how comes some games are about 30gb, can a standard DVD hold that much?

Xbox 360 CAN'T have games on HD-DVD. Since the attachment isn't standard, there would be too many people buying HD-DVD games, only to find they can't play them.

The Blu-ray discs just have more space, that's all. Much more space actually. This means that developers can put more into their games.

I really haven't heard that Blu-ray is all that great. Sure, it has a lot of space, but there have been reviews of blu-ray players, which cost alone +$1000 and people are saying they can't play some of their regular or HD DVDs on them. They're also supposed to be rather buggy. Now the PS3 will be $600, so I'm guessing it's blu-ray player is rather mediocre.
Also, just because you have more space on a disc does not mean the graphics are going to be better. The graphics card, the CPU, RAM, and developer's devotion to the game is what makes the graphics nice. There were games for Xbox that looked worse than some Gamecube games and Gamecube discs had about half the storage capacity of Xbox discs.
Blu-ray, I predict, will go the same way the UMD has for the PSP. Movie companies are just not interested in the UMD format because it's so proprietary and the PSP isn't selling so well. HD DVD will probably succeed until the vast majority of people have HD TVs.
