Cracked Picks HD-DVD over Blu-Ray

Sounds reasonable to me.

'...remember that consumers are at heart, incredibly stupid. Seriously. These are the same people that bought Furbees. So, because the name “Blu-Ray” sounds kind of stupid, and because whoever named the HD-DVD had no illusions regarding the intelligence of their consumer base, and simply named their product “High Definition DVD”, the HD-DVD format will win this format war handily.'
