And that's just one of the problems with having a raging format war. A lot of people just aren't ready yet to commit money to a "potential Betamax".
I still half-expect the retailers to play a role. If it's clear one format is losing the sales battle, the Best Buys of this world just might stop carrying the losing format's product or at least stop maintaining dual inventories of the same HD movie. After all, they can always sell the DVD version.
