I'd be nothing without the seeds you guys plant for me.

I don't mind spending money on this hobby but I won't spend $1,400 on a BD player when in two years they'll sell for $300. I did buy an HD-DVD player for $400 and that will have to do until BD gets their prices down. I hate to say it but it doesn't look good for HD-DVD right now. The ONLY thing keeping BD from cleaning up right now is their hardware price. If 2nd generation BD players were selling for $400, HD-DVD would die in its tracks.

If there is ever a “winner” in this format “war”, I believe it will be Blu Ray.
The only reason I say that, is that Blu-Ray is easier to say than HD-DVD. “Honey, can pick up that new HD-DVD DVD on your way home tonight”. I already hate saying HD-DVD.
Until then, I’m watching both. I have to give the nod to HD-DVD for video quality while the audio is goes to Blu-Ray. Or, just forget both of them and buy Lowery Digital transferred SD DVD’s. They’re damn near, if not better than any HD/BR disk I’ve got.

There is a 499.00 Blu Ray player out there, It's just known as PS3. And that hasn't vaulted Blu Ray into the lead. What Imo will determine the outcome if there is one, will be the content put out. Right now HDDVD has better content and again Imo the best looking HD movies.

Or both of them will fail spectacularly. Which I find much more likely (not to mention desirable.)

Kinda analogous to the SACD vs. DVD-A "war"
