Honestly I don't see why anyone would buy a HD-DVD only player or a Blu-ray only player, knowing that some manufacturers are planning combo drives for later this year. You already know they are going to be obsolete technology in 6-9 months. I guess those who can't wait and those with $$ to burn. I can see buying the $499 Toshiba HD-DVD player to an extent (it's half the price at least), but the BD players that are going for a grand or more is completely nuts. From a technical point of view, just how many 1080p displays have true 1080p inputs? So few that I don't see an issue with the Toshiba models that output *only* 720p/1080i. I think it's great that the HD-DVD movies will be encoded in 1080p from the get-go and most should include the SD version on the flip side. They are future-proof and I'll buy them. You won't see me buying any Blu-ray movies though.
Until sanity returns to the industry I'll just continue to *suffer* with my upscaling Denon DVD player.
