it was an easy choice for me to spend the $200 on the HD-DVD add on for my 360 a year ago. i'm not satisfied however as there are MANY titles i want that are only available on BD, and the war doesnt seem to be ending anytime soon. so i do plan on getting a BD player in the near future.

if i had to choose one or the other right now, i would do my homework and find out what titles are available on each, then total how many from each i want to own. the one with the longer list wins!

the other issue is budget i suppose, you can get into HD-DVD for a little cheaper than BD as i'm sure you've discovered already.

easiest answer - GET BOTH! :-)

good luck.
