Especially considering the fact that any HD-DVD title that gets released on Blu-Ray is going to be at least twice the price. If you don't believe me take a look at the catalog Blu-Ray releases for Paramount which run at least $21 a piece. Do what you do best. Hold on to the technology that you have enjoy a great up-conversion player and then purchase as many high-def titles for dirt cheap in HD-DVD and kick back and see what happens with Blu-Ray.
My HD DVD library has been EXPANDING. Thanks to some fantastic deals at Amazon (I just picked up "Black Rain" new, for $5.50, private seller). I've also been picking up some great Superbit titles (Desperado, The Patriot, Black Hawk Down for $5 a piece, as new). The Superbit titles look great on my XA2, btw, near HD quality. I have no desire to even touch a Bluray player until they straighten out spec 2.0 and price is less than $200. Upconversion on my XA2 is so damn good I'm not missing anything yet on Bluray. That could change if the Indy Jones movies (4) go HD...
