I don't agree. Price is not everything.

If you're willing to spend $1,000 plus on an HDTV a $100 dollar difference to get a recognizable vendor's player (over some vendor you've never heard of before) is not going to be an issue.



My observation with people I know or have met is that those who have the cheapest systems (sub $100 players, sub $500 TVs and no discrete audio system) simply rent. They buy extremely few disks and usually their entire library is less than a dozen DVDs. I don't expect that population to change their buying habits for either HD DVD or Blu-ray no matter how cheap players or the disks become.

How true !!
