Releasing these titles in Blu-ray later means more money for the studios, so I wouldn't expect anything that is available exclusively for HD-DVD to stay that way for too long. If it gets to be anything like the BETAs when VHS won out, then you might be able to score a really inexpensive HD-DVD player sometime in the next several months as they get phased out.
For my part, I wouldn't want to waste so much as another penny on the format.

That's really kind of the bottom line.
