This seems to be shaping up to be like SACD vs. DVD-A or VHS vs. Beta. I'd wait a bit.
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?
