Round One - Same titles, same masters, same studio, different video codecs:
Training Day,
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and
Rumor Has It... ---- HD DVD was released first, followed by Blu-ray about one month later. Both formats were released by the same company (Warner), using the same masters.
Winner: HD DVD, because its picture quality (VC-1 codec) was simply better than Blu-ray's (MPEG-2 codec).

Round Two - Same titles, same masters, same studio, SAME VIDEO CODECS:
Firewall,
Lethal Weapon, and
Blazing Saddles --- HD DVD was released first, followed by Blu-ray; both formats were released by the same company (Warner), using the same masters. This time, however, Warner used the VC-1 video codec on the Blu-ray releases for the above titles.
Now that both formats used the same video codec, using the same masters in the same titles released by the same studio, who won?
Peter M. Bracke says it's a draw.
1.
Firewall --- "I would say the Blu-ray and the HD DVD are like Xerox copies of each other."

Lethal Weapon --- "I would say the Blu-ray and the HD DVD are exact replicas of each other."
http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/lethalweapon.html3.
Blazing Saddles --- "The result was that as I found with my Blu-ray reviews of 'Firewall' and 'Lethal Weapon,' any differences between the Blu-ray and the HD DVD are invisible."

If I can make a suggestion, there are plenty of British and US-based AV forums that are teeming with reviews, debates, impressions and discussions on the two formats.
