By the end of '06, likely millions of people will own a PS3 that can play Blu-Ray right out of the box. That takes care of the problem of spending money for a player that might be obsolete later. If the people already have a player, I'm sure many will at least try Blu-Ray, and if the quality is as amazing as I'm hearing, then they'll keep buying. By that time, I'm sure the other movie studios will see that Blu-Ray is selling quite well, and will start producing titles on Blu-Ray. By then, I'd imagine HD-DVD will be dead. Your thoughts, please....

Yes, this was reiterated here many times but since you are new here, we understand your point. This is the only reason why I am not sweating out the "format war"
