So all I want to know is what do I buy now? Just purchased a new Sony Bravia and they added in at a great price a hd dvd player. I haven’t opened it and wonder if I should just return it and use my old dvd player till this mess gets figured out?

blu-ray could barely beat hd-dvd. how in the world could you expect it to dominate dvd when you can watch dvds on an upconverting player that look like hd. it’s not like it was with dvd vs. vhs when there was a huge difference in quality. blu-ray will struggle around for a year or two and by then something really better or cheaper will come along that will actually make people want to jump on the bandwagon. blu-ray doesn’t have that appeal.

Blu-ray players really aren’t any more expensive than DVD players were at this stage in their lifespan. However, you are correct in saying that it will take longer for Blu-ray to dominate the market because it will take awhile for everyone to get around to buying a HDTV. But it is a happening, and it is happening at a pretty rapid pace. Downloads won’t be a serious contender for quite some time.

It’s going to harder this time around because not everyone has a HD Tv and Blue-ray player. Both are more expensive when the first dvd player came out. But this could be because inflation but who knows prices may drop dramatically in the next few years.
