I agree- DVD is still such a young format, and many people have only just recently bought their first DVD player. The difference in picture quality is really going to have to be spectacular, in order for consumers to accept either HD-DVD or Blu-ray anytime soon.

As I said earlier, Blu-ray discs cost a bit more to produce, but they are not selling for more than HD-DVDs.

Yes, I've heard that the companies are planning on taking a loss, initially, on their Blu-ray discs to make them comparable price-wise to HD-DVDs, until the Blu-ray format is accepted and the discs become cheaper to produce.
