Not tons but $500 is hardly a big expenditure. You don't have to buy discs even you can rent them from Netflix or Blockbuster so your overall investement is lower when compared to the options that the early DVD users had.

Sure it's annoying but hardly as annoying as people make it seem. If you have a HDTV you spent good money on it and you're not seeing the full quality with broadcast "macroblock infested" HD.

If we had one format I doubt we'd be seeing $499 players and $20 media honestly. You can make the difference if you buy the format that has value to you then studios will come to support your player.
