My situation made it pretty easy

The old player was beginning to die, and $179 for a player (A3) and 10 discs from Amazon made it a no-brainer. If Toshiba folded the HD DVD tents tomorrow, I'd still have a player that makes my current DVD collection look much better upconverted to 1080i via HDMI on my display than my wheezing its last Panny did.
Before that came along, I was planning on either waiting for a combi player with acceptable PQ at the 300-400 price point, or the survivor to drag its badly battered carcass across the format war battlefield and plant a victory flag.
