This whole debate is fast becoming redundant as other technologies like cheap China built H.264/VC-1 EVD standards will be available for sub $200 .

Then ther is the whole Media center thing with 1/2 terabyte drives from Samsung in the $500 range hold all the HD files you want and fully newtworkable.

Then add to this SAT, Cable HD PVR's with downloadable HD-VOD internal 80GB drives in addition to there 160BG - 250GB PVR HDD's .

Ciscotific Atlanta will be debuting HD PVR's with quad tuners with wirless networking and 250GB plus drives and DVD burners on board for archiving .

This will all come together in a model for Hollywood delivery on theatrical run movies to the home HD-VOD with paid for 2 viewing license and after theater run is over permanent archive purchase.

Where does Bluray / HD-DVD fit into this well as a home archiver once the price folds due to know one buying them :)
