Actually, I expect people to generally start with the display. They are cheap enough-hell, 50" plasmas are about 1/2 the price they were a few years ago. They'll be flying off the shelves next christmas and/or superbowl season. Hopefully players will sell too. What's starting to happen, is that some retailers are bundling TVs and players into a package deal. That should help. Onkyo is coming out with a new HD DVD player this fall-I expect it will be bundled with their new HT receivers that take HDMI 5.1 input.
Lots of pretty toys for the holidays. :-)

Agreed, a single format stands the best chance IMO - 4season 11:35:52 06/13/07 (6)

Better to have one winner than no winners at all - 4season 12:17:45 06/15/07 (4)

I suspect that's not the case - Jack G 14:08:52 06/15/07 (3)

In this instance, I don't think niche status is viable - 4season 15:23:38 06/15/07 (1)

Niche format means fewer available titles.... nt - oscar 15:19:27 06/15/07 (0)

One reason both might survive is the possibility of combo players - oscar 10:16:13 06/13/07 (0)
