Reasons not to go to HD - DVD or Blu-Ray yet:
1. There is a format war going on here, can we say BETA?
2. Another format to deal with, I have too many of these little round discs that only work in specific devices as it is.
3. HD and Blu Ray Discs cost more.
4. As brotherbob points out, technology is still buggy.
5. Not all Video stores rent HD discs.
6. As this is still very new, chances are you frineds and family will still be lending you SD DVD's
7. Up-scaling DVD such as the Oppo DV-981HD will play all SD DVD"s and, although not as good as HD DVD, look very fine. The price may be higher for the unit, but you won't have to replace existing DVD's and pay the exta for new ones. Cheaper in the long run.
