Which comes first--the titles you want or mass-adoption of a format?
I think the answer is pretty clear. No content provider is going to the trouble to spiff up their films for HD production until they are guaranteed a certain volume of sales, and that volume will never be achieved as long as a format war stands in the way of mass-market adoption. If you want good titles, you will have to get behind one format and push for it to succeed. I know you think my posts are motivated by me being an asshole and cheerleader and fanboy, etc., but you should at some point entertain the possibility that I recognize certain market factors, if not features of the formats that make one superior to the other.
Or not. You can just continue to pretend market factors and capacity are irrelevant and playing both sides of the fence is the way to go. Up to you.
