>>>if someone wants to rent or buy HD movies, they will need a Blu-ray player, so they will want to get rid of the HD DVD player so as not to keep two machines that try to do the same thing on their shelves.<<<
That's the dumbest thing I've heard in ages-even from you. There is nothing wrong with having two machines-I have 3 under my TV. My A1, the Sharp, and my Oppo.

>>>if it's not worth buying for me, it's not worth buying for others.<<<
Shouldn't others make their own decisions instead of you?

>>>Not true, or you'd still be watching VHS or DVD<<<
I do still watch them. I pity you for being so limited.

...and you think that's normal or a good use of money or shelf-space? Most folks will not have the room, the money or the switching capabilities to support that. You are in a tiny sliver of the minority, and even you will dump the A1 at some point, after you find a good deal and pick up a few of your HD DVD titles on BD.

I'm not making their decisions, I'm giving my $.02, same as you. But unlike you, I think any recommendation to buy HD DVDs or the Toshiba, especially at this juncture, is foolish.
