When I saw how good standard DVDs can look played using an HDMI connection with a good upsampling player like the inexpensive Oppo 970HD (which I had originally bought for SACDs and quickly lost interst in for that purpose), I became much less intersted in buying a player for HD discs. It's not as good as the best HD that come over my satellite connection, but can be as good as quite a bit of the satellite HD. It looks a lot better to me than standard DVD and can certainly be satisfying as I sit on the sidelines. I don't buy many DVDs but just rent them. If one is building up a collection, that is another story. Then it might make sense to get an HD player and start buying one or the other formats.

For most in my opinion. I can see folks buying occasional titles for movies they just have to have but other than that, they will wait.
It is understandable most folks leaning towards doing nothing presently. Even if they do have a display capable to take full advantage of the audio and video this format war is far from over IMHO.

Its more than that. Only about 40% of people with HDTVs actually have an HD source of any type. Most buy them for the size, and some think they are watching HD when they aren't. Most don't care. Many of those that know about it don't want to pay extra for it.
