The best choice is to avoid both formats until the situation is settled once and for all. Over the past few months, I have been looking at the shelves at retail stores to see what titles are available on both formats. Thus far, not much of interest to me. Standard DVD will just have to suffice for the next few years.

Hard to avoid when you've gotten used to HD broadcasts. - oscar 11:50:17 08/21/07 (0)
Maybe getting an HD tuner for Dishnetwork broadcasts a big mistake. DVDs didn't look quite as good after watching broadcast HD movies on the big screen. I decided to pay an early adopter price because I was no longer interested in DVDs but still wanted day&date releases of new movies on HD.

But you are right the Paramount decision will simply prolong the format war and delay mass adoption of HD media content for exactly the reasons you stated.
