Well, that article posted by Lee was certainly different than what I had been reading, but it was a good article. This is torture - I want an high-def player and have been leaning heavily towards Blu-Ray. I love Sony products - I have many and have never had any issues with them. (My original CD player is close to 20 years old and still works - although I have newer units I mostly use now).
Based on the article, then the only advantage I see to Blu-Ray now is the price of the BDs versus the HDDs. I have seen BD movies for $19.99 - $24.99; all HD Disc movies I have seen are $29.99. So much cheaper unit for Toshiba, but movies prices as much as 50% higher.
I think I am going to have to buy a cheap upconverting DVD player with HDMI output and wait for this war to finish up.
