If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have, but I'm not overly upset about it. My Toshiba player cost less than $200 and came with 10 free discs. It is a superb up-sampling DVD player, and many DVDs played with it can be almost as good as the average HD programming I get on my TV. I just purchased a number of HD DVDs for half-price, most at less than half the price of the Blu-Ray version if it exists; one doesn't even exist on Blu-Ray. I'll now wait until there is a standard for Blu-Ray, which there isn't now. At some point there will be a standard and prices for a quality player will be quite reasonable, and then I'll get one. I fully expect I'll get my money's worth out of it, so you don't have to feel sorry for me at least.

No biggie IMHO. They can still enjoy what they bought or are renting.

So much better than the usual "big bad Sony is making my four kids and three cats go without dinner for the next three months because Blu-ray players cost so much and now I gotta buy one because they killed the better format so Sony sux sux sux" hate posts we usually get around here.
