HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray.

I am the prototypical early adopter, I bought a DVD player when there were 10 titles available, I own 1000+DVD's and I won't buy either format. The fact is I desperately want a Hi-def video format, I've seen both and although HD-DVD looks better right now, they both look good and I'd take either one. I'd even pay the $1000 to buy a Blu-Ray player right now if it were the only format available.

While there is a chance that the software I buy will be useless in a few years, I will not jump even if players drop to $200.

All this format war accomplishes IMO is reducing the chance that either format will gain widespread acceptance. I'll continue watching DVD's until it's clear that there is a winner.

I bought the HD A1 and it is fantastic, of course, I just came from D-VHS, so dead formats don't worry me. While most seem to focus on the visuals which really are better on the HD A1 when compared to its BD-ROM counterpart, the audio is better as well. Being an early adopter I know that all of this may be "at this moment", but I am enjoying it none-the-less. But considering how much money, you've mentioned elsewhere, you've spent on your audio system, I would have thought you would have jumped on either of the formats.
