they really have to lower the players prices, and the cost of the movies as well as the costs of HDTV sets or it will end up being a niche market like laserdisc was, while vhs was the mainstream. instead of vhs dvd will be mainstream for instance when put up against the HD stuff.

i think HD is the wave of the future but the companies greed and lack of intelligence may kill both formats.

Plus a lot of people are happy with quality that is not even up to par with dvd, people who download shit quality avi or whatever formats to there ipod or psp.

to get the most out of the picture and sound of HD-DVD or Blu-Ray you have to be xtremeley wealthy and have a setup that displays six times the resolution of dvd and 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 audio home audio setup.

once they come out with cheap recordable blu ray or HD-DVD drives and afforbable 1080P computer monitors i'll go HD, until then i can live with what i have.
