I just thought I'd jump in to add my 2 cents. Without going into too much detail and rambling on about how much I detest Blu Ray, I hope the HD DVD camp has something up their sleeve (can you tell yet that I'm an HD DVD supporter?).
One major reason is this...the spec for HD DVD is finalized and has been since its release. Blu Ray on the other hand is still changing. Any players that were manufactured prior to the new Blu Ray spec (including the newer dual format players) can't play some of the newer Blu Ray discs. I don't know about you guys, but if I buy a player then I expect to be able to play all discs that claim to be the format of my player.
