Blu-Ray and HD DVD


I want to upgrade my dvd player and there are a lot of nice choices out there right now. However, I'm concerned that whatever I buy now will be obsolete in a few months when blu ray (HD DVD?) hits the market. Am I missing something or is now the time to wait instead of plunking down serious cash on a player that isn't HD compatible? Also, am I mistaken in thinking that blu-ray = HD DVD?

I throw my bet on a combined product solution. Either the players...or...the discs.

AT CES I thought HD-DVD had the more impressive marketing roll out and the product was excellent. Several HD-DVD player prototypes were out for viewing as was a demo of HD-DVD of "I Robot". I thought HD-DVD would win out until Apple signed on with Blue ray...

Unless they come up with a combined solution they could in theory both lose out. WE'll see.

Wonder how this will effect Netflix pricing
