Blu-Ray and HD DVD


I want to upgrade my dvd player and there are a lot of nice choices out there right now. However, I'm concerned that whatever I buy now will be obsolete in a few months when blu ray (HD DVD?) hits the market. Am I missing something or is now the time to wait instead of plunking down serious cash on a player that isn't HD compatible? Also, am I mistaken in thinking that blu-ray = HD DVD?

Blu-ray and HD DVD are not the same, but both produce an HD picture.
Blu-ray is probably the best system and is from Sony.

I would wait to buy anything expensive. When these new players come out, even if you don't want them (and I don't know why you wouldn't), I would expect these player prices will drop like the stock market did a few years back.
