Will the prices for some BD titles double or triple?

Maybe, maybe not...only time will tell. There's going to be a lag before these movies come home.

I'll just say, that if you enjoy movies and have the means, you'd get both.

I completetly agree! The only reason I got a HD-DVD player was cause they had some classics (The Thing, Born on the fourth of julY, etc.) that I could not wait for any longer. I was planning on waiting cause I could do without Universal, but when paramount when exclusive, I said f*ck it and bought the hd-dvd player. Movies come first, format is a distant second.

I do support Blu-ray way more then Hd-dvd tho, cause I want it to win, anything on both I no question buy blu.

Well, after browsing these and the HDDVD forums for a long time, most people don't grasp this and still spew the same mindless fanboyisms. Tiresome.

I agree. I understand the fact that by supporting one, the format war will end quickly so all movies are available but it does not look like this is going to happen anytime soon.

If you have the means and get (support) both, you will, in the end, have neither.

As has been said before, there can be only winner in this war -- and if one does not win soon, people will be downloading mid to low def from the Internet or on demand.

Investing in both, rather than doing what early adopters do--decide which competing format will continue and which will die--will doom both. If you want ANY HD, you've got to get with one and fight the war to the end.

Sorry, but this is what this is all about.

I've seen a lot of people say this, but there's really no evidence to back this up. You can go back to previous events Beta/VHS, SACD/DVD-A, but this is quite different.

The longer this goes on, the more exclusive studios lose in potential sales to single format owners. As this potential loss increases, studios will have to consider going neutral. When this happens, things will change quickly.

I think right now, both formats have a health growth rate, so I don't see anyone giving up on either for awhile. Fight your war if you want, I've picked up both players and am on a nice private island watching the battle from afar
