I think a lot of people (me included) are holding off a purchace until the format finally settles on one or the other. I hate this dual format crap. Like Beta and VHS all over again. No one wants to buy a bunch of disks, to find they are orphaned at a later date. If prices get low enough, I will probably buy one or the other (or even both) anyway, but personally, I would like to see just one format.
