Latest on Blu-Ray vs HD DVD ?


My display is 1080 and seems be capable of stunning picture limited by source. Cable HD can look awesome, but I understand it is not 1080p. Currently I'm using an upscaling DVD player and movies look very good, but I think it's time to think about exploiting the capabilities of my TV. What is the latest thinking on HD/Blu-Ray players? Should I look for a universal DVD that plays both formats, or choose one like the Toshiba HD-XA2 that has top marks in one format only? Thanks for your opinions.

both formats are struggling....lack of software sales, manufacturing and mastering defects, etc. if you plan to be an early adopter, universal
I have a player for both formats--XA1 and the Sammy 1200-- One format isn't better in pq---than the other. But, a quality transfer in either format is stunning. ---OH, and don't lets forget the audio is that much better too. I use the 5.1 analog output. Using the old coax or toslinc reduces this new format's audio quality.
Anyway, either fromat is as good a signal as your tv will get.
I jumped on the Blu-Ray wagon about a month too early... I bought the Sony last month. I do love it, and the picture quality.

However, I stated a month to early as a buddy just emailed me this link!

Now appears to be the time to grab a Blu-Ray if you are on the fence...
