The main problem I have with Blu Ray is the price. It's like the PS3 - I don't have a prob with it at all - except for the high price tag. For me, it's all about value. And there are tons of movies on BR I would love to have, but the price of admission isn't where I want it to be. If they were the same, I would buy both ...

Ok! It sounds like you're a bit of a movie fan and like some of the BD movies as well but the price of the player is scaring you away. I was actually hoping that you or twesterm or one of the other big HDDVD people would check out this thread.

And price is really the point of my thread but i'm not going to get to the punch line yet. But what if BD players were only $100 and HD-DVD players say $50? Would the lower price points get you to switch?

I knew you were Dallas, I just assumed you'd been banned for behavior, which I couldn't understand. I'm glad I was wrong.

My answer to the question at hand, even though I'm not an HD-DVD owner either: I'd buy the Blu Ray, no question. If I'm not mistaken, the question here is really: would you buy the technologically superior product if price were of little to no consequence? I think the answer is clearly yes. THe only possible objection one could have is available film library, but unless you absolutely love Transformers so much that you can't possibly give it up, I think most will agree that Blu Ray has at least an equal if not better library currently when compared to HD DVD.
