So they've come up with a way to play both formats but they aren't allowed to use it. Sounds great.

I doubt it will matter, ultimately. I don't expect HD-DVD to even be around in a year or so.

I was saying that at 1st...

I don't even know anymore...

BD should blow them out of the water...but then you have the 1,000.00 price tag...

ouch...

You get what you pay for.

Remember: This is strictly an early adopter's market.

$1000 MSRP (street will be cheaper, we all know this) gets you in the door to immediate widspread movie support sans only Universal studios.

To me, if you're the early adopter type at all, or if you're even just dying for HD and tempted to be an early adopter for the first time...like me...I think it's a no-brainer, imo.

But of course: There's no such thing as bargains when we're talking first generation/early adoption era on ANY new consumer electronics venture. There's always that give and take and risk involved.

Originally I thought HD DVD would be dead by fall, now I give them till next spring.

I'll admit that the lower price of HD DVD makes things less certain but I'm sure the makers of BD players will get their products out for less money shortly. They'll have to discount to win this thing and they will. They can't afford not to.

They're already giving it away as is.

I don't think personally that duel players will even come, it's more than anything just a pipedream.Sure it's a possibility but by the time they make one their would have been already a format winner.
