What you need to ask yourself is...

"Which format offers more movies that I really want to watch?"

Don't assume that today's Blu-Ray exclusives will eventually make their way to HD DVD or vice versa. Or that the failure of one format guarantees the survival of the other format.

I began by buying a Toshiba HD-A20 HD DVD player because I wanted an upscaling DVD player anyhow, and this one fell into my price range, so it was kind of a no-brainer. I found that I liked watching movies in 1080p high-def and felt confident enough to spend $500 on a Sony Playstation 3, so I can watch Blu-Ray movies too. Most of my actual movie-watching is currently done with HD DVD, but here and there have have been some B-D exclusives that I wanted to see, or sometimes the HD DVD version of a movie is checked out, and how nice to have the B-D alternative.

So there you have my solution: A little chaotic, but that's the future for you.
