A daunting challenge for Joe considering the cost to take full advantage of the new format.

I guess one can start with the player as you stated in an earlier post that the HD software will run with component. Hopefully most will have a display with that at least at this point. That's where I'm planning to start. They can always rent the software so a bit of a savings there initially.

Actually, I expect people to generally start with the display. They are cheap enough-hell, 50" plasmas are about 1/2 the price they were a few years ago. They'll be flying off the shelves next christmas and/or superbowl season. Hopefully players will sell too. What's starting to happen, is that some retailers are bundling TVs and players into a package deal. That should help. Onkyo is coming out with a new HD DVD player this fall-I expect it will be bundled with their new HT receivers that take HDMI 5.1 input.
Lots of pretty toys for the holidays. :-)

PS. Its really not that daunting.
