Can we PLEASE stop letting the 'HD DVD brigade' dictate our discussions?

First, sorry for my english cause I'm a french canadian! Second, this is my first post here but I come everyday to read the news about blu-ray (Yeah I'm a blu all the way!) Third, I listened to 28 weeks later for the first time yesterday with my girlfriend and it was a total blast!

Ok now, my point is that is see this argument very often about the price and I want to add something to your answer. We all know that to experience hi-def, you must at least have a HDTV or a hi-end A/V receiver. Both of them are expensive so: 1) if someone want to invest in either a HDTV ou a receiver, he'll want a have the best out of it and we all know that the blu-ray as more potential (especially for the sound) 2) If he as the money for a HDTV or an A/V, he probably also have the money for a blu-ray! So I think that the price is not a valid argument to predict the victory!
