Sure it's all hypothetical/ developmental stuff, but a lot of it is incompatible with the current players.I'm in no rush to upgrade either way. (Amazon had a Bourne Trilogy HD-DVD for free with the 360 player and it made me consider it, but eh I don't really watch that many DVD's.)I'm a bit cynical, so take it with a grain of salt, but I think both companies are simply paying off studios to go their way and it has nothing to do with the companies giving any thought to the actual format or it's advantages.Seriously, why go exclusively BluRay? Do the HD-DVD sales not pay for themselves? Going exclusive removes sales, it can't possibly add any. Mind you, it's such a small market that perhaps the HD-DVD production runs don't pay for themselves, but consolidating into one format won't be the thing to expand the market, IMO. The HD-Wars can end, but that doesn't mean suddenly everyone will buy.</blockquote>
