I wouldn't advise people not to jump on the HD-DVD and BD bandwagon right now is not the time as they are still fighting over the format wars...plus DVD right now are more plentiful and more available to the general consumers only those newtech would go that far. I for one like the newtech but always be wary of just jumping on to new tech without weighing the pro and cons first. I for one will stay away from HD or BD for the time being as most of my viewing and format comes on DVD and I can live with the resolutions and plus alot of older movies are still in DVD format so just going to HD or BD doesn't mean those older movies will come out in HD or BD.
