In the end, we're all dead. Meanwhile, have some fun!

Sure, Blu-Ray has it's problems, and no one really knows whether it or HD DVD will be around a decade from now. But perfect or not, you can enjoy them right here and now. You wait a few years for things to sort themselves out, and you might be very very disappointed to find (1) You have grown older and missed out on a few years worth of fun, and (2) There will be all-new uncertainties to deal with, and that you can bank on.

I have HD DVD because I love movies like "Lost In Translation" and "Being John Malkovich".

I have Blu-Ray because I'm very keen to watch anime like "Tekkonkinkreet" and "Paprika".

You talk about owning a very early VHS machine, but I take it you never attempted to hear hifi soundtracks or play S-VHS recordings on it.

I'm not saying that I like how Blu-Ray was dumped on the market in an unfinished state, only that I'd like to see what I can do with it now that it's already here.
