Heard on the News this morning that Walmart will sell BlueRay exclusively
and phase out the other stuff.
When the biggest retailer in the world takes a position like that I suspect BlueRay will be the winner in the format wars.

Went with Blu-Ray 6 months ago. With a 65" 1080p TV the pictures is phenomenal. Not that much difference with a TV smaller than 42".
If you are thinking about making the move, at this point you, should hold out until the next generation machines - with internet access - come out. Not too far away, and they promise some "extra features" along with downloadable "stuff." Even if you are not interested in that extra flexibility, the prices on the current generation machines will fall.
Of course, wait a few weeks and the HDDVD players will be FREE as EVERYONE dumps the format.
Anyone want a BETAMAX?

Looks like the end might be near for HD-DVD. Wal Mart just announced that they will dump HD-DVD and stock Blu-Ray discs only, following the footsteps of Best Buy & Netflix. Rumor also had it that Toshiba is ready to write-off HD-DVD citing its failure. Basically, when the world's biggest retail corp. and those nation-wide electronic stores stop carrying your product --- both the hardware & software are doomed. Blu-Ray is likely to win this HD- format war.
For those who bought a HD-DVD player...well, consider it as a higher- grade DVD (regular DVD) player then. Meanwhile regular DVD machines lives on and with some selling as low as $25.00 along with a huge selection of software, looks like it will be here for quite a while."
