Well, I bought a Toshiba HD DVD player for $199 becuase...

it's cheap enough for me, the BD standard doesn't exist yet (I don't want to have to worry about upgrading my firmware at unknown intervals in order to play the latest discs), and there's enough software out there right now for me to get my money's worth. In fact there's some software out there that I really am interested in that is only on HD DVD (e.g., a performance of the Magic Flute- I just payed as much as the Toshiba player for an evening to see it in person). There is nothing yet on BD exclusively that really interests me all that much. When one format wins, assuming one format wins, i would really like to a have a first-class player, not the cheapest money can buy, so for now I'm just dipping my toe in the water. No big loss if I have to move to another pond someday.
