8k home video isn’t a thing in reality and 4k Ultra HD is a niche format that only has a few films published. Blu-ray is the best compromise of them all because it has many films, in HD, and is the most durable of those. The most cost effective.

I recently just picked up Xbox 360 HD DVD player for $10 the player is almost unused but outside box suffered some dust and water damage everything inside is completely intact and almost brand new. I probably wouldn't pick it up if I didn't won it for so cheap. Just too cool to pass it up. Try to score some titles for dirt cheap on HD DVD so I don't have to pay more on Blu-ray.

2021 The top of the range player Is the HD-EP35 from Toshiba, It has the then Brand New HDMI Socket way before Blu-Ray players had them. This Is the player I Have. Also the 480 Pal UK releases, And because the Format Is Region Free. I also have American and European as well (Still Make and Sell them there) Look for a copy of Unleashed (Jet Li) as It comes with a huge 5.1 sound that DVD and Blu-Ray doesn't. Played back on the right kit. The Vision and sound will outdo a Blu-Ray any day.

Technical aspects were that the Blu-ray Disc structure was more future proof in that it had more space for multiple data layers. Blu-ray was always capable of storing more data than HD-DVD. The actual reason they won was that Sony made smarter decisions in prioritising distribution. The PS3 was a Blu-ray player so everyone who bought could also watch HD on Blu-ray. Sony had their own film studio so they persuaded more studios to publish on their formats thus more films available on Blu-ray. Back then there was any major difference between the two formats. But look over the history of Blu-ray, I think overall, the right format won.
