Too many people are happy with standard DVD to make the switch to something new, again (after just giving up VCR tapes). Even with my Canon SX50 projector blowing up an image to 10 feet from left to right, standard DVDs still look beautiful, (though I'll still buy a select choice of HDs in time). Even now you see so many pores, zits, moles, wrinkles, film graininess,, ect. on standard DVDs, either HD format will bring all that out even more. It's not just the format (DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-Ray) but more importantly the devices playing-displaying the video that really makes the extreme difference from one HD-TV to another. Just step into a Curcuit City and see what I mean. HD discs wll be a select market exactly as Laserdiscs was 20 or so years ago.
