If Sony and the rest of the Blu-Ray camp wants to really win the HD-DVD users, then they better make sure that future players also play HD-DVD as well. I know that for them, strategically it doesn't make sense right now, but to get their players as the exclusive player in the home, they would need to do this.
I considered my $98 HD-DVD player a "short-term" investment. Short-term, I thought, would be a couple of years though, not a couple of months potentially. Sure, there are movies out there on HD-DVD that I enjoy, but I've been NetFlix'ing the heck out of them and don't know how much more I will be able to enjoy without more new content. Of course, with the HD-DVD movie rebate with the requirement of removing the UPC from the box, my player is no longer returnable (even if I wanted to return it) nor or the 5 movies that I actually bought.
