E.g. I waited for the Extended (DTS) versions of LOTR before I bought them on DVD. For the long-term, bandwidth and storage are very important considerations, that consideration is driving my selections for now.

What good is a format, if you don't like what its offering? That's why I jumped off the SACD bandwagon 6 months after I jumped on it.
Oh sure, its nice to hear promises of how glorious things will be in the future, but what good is that if they don't have any movies you want to see?

- There are precious few titles of interest in either format, and you know it - Jazz Inmate 12:00:51 12/12/07 (1)
  There is only one reason to buy into HD: a fascination with QUALITY and a desire to see a tremendous volume of films released with that QUALITY.

    But I have over 80 HD DVDs, and only 20 BDs-5 of which were free, and the Ocean's Trilogy I got on BD because the HD DVD was sold out.
    OTOH, I have over 1000 DVDs. Most of my watching is still SD.

    I'm not going to buy a nice picture of a movie that I don't like. If you want to do that, by all means go for it. I won't-that sends the wrong message to the studios: "I'll buy anything in HD!".
    I'm sure Sony loves you.
