You may well be right. But since I have a rather expensive 720p display, I'm not in a big rush to immediately upgrade to 1080p technology. Blu-Ray or HD-DVD's attraction is the possibility of high resolution movies, provided that the player will output 720p via DVI to 720p-native displays. OTOH, 40$ pricetags for a handful of Blu-ray disks will make early adoption problematical.

Where did you see this ($40)? That can't be US dollars, right? The actual street price will be determined soon enough (probably $21.99 - $24.99), but the MSRP will be under $30. Could you be confusing this price ($40) with the MSRP of the hybrid HD-DVD/DVD discs (they'll MSRP around $39.99)?
The deciding factor that made VHS tapes win the format war was the porn industry. I'm not going to jump on the hi-res disc bandwagon there is enough software that I REALLY want, reasonably priced. I'm going to wait untill things ort themselves out.
