I'd wait until players which support DTS HD MA become available before buying one. Also, expect the price of next generation players to drop. OTOH, I couldn't wait when I found out about the LG combo player.All other things being equal, I'll opt for the Blu-Ray version over HD-DVD. Re: Blu-Ray has higher storage capacity (translation: better ability to hold higher bitrate video and audio) and better studio support. HD-DVD may be cheaper (now), but sometimes you get what you pay for. The only thing good coming out of this format war might be Sony et al won't be able to gouge you on Blu-ray player pricing if HD DVD players continue to be fairly "cheap".
