There are ways around HDCP if you don't have an HDCP-compliant display. Below is a link to one such solution (there are several others) if you don't have a proper digital connection (HDMI or DVI-HDCP) and need an analog path. There are also digital solutions if your DVI connection is not HDCP-compliant.
I don't see an HD-SDI solution for at least a year after the players launch. Hollywood has put too much pressure on the chip manufacturers to eliminate this possibility. But as the saying goes, never say never.
Not all studios will enable the analog "flag", so this may not be a problem for you if you need full analog resolution. So if you don't have an HDCP-compliant display, you only have a problem if your favorite studio is a scum-bucket like Warner Bros.

Below is a link to an AVS Forum page. The 3 links on that page will give you all the information you'll ever want -- or not want -- to know about Blu-Ray/HD-DVD. The first one (673 pages) is the longest and most information-packed thread on the net. There's plenty of participation by employees whose companies have a lot to gain -- and lose -- per the next gen format's outcome as well as by some very technologically knowledgeable members. There is some "noise", but considering the amount of information presented it's not that big of a deal.
