I disagree. I don't see an item less expensive as 'generic' If that were the case, then plasma is generic compared to LCD. AMD chipsets are generic compared to Intel chips. Just because I can afford Blu-Ray doesn't necessarily mean I want Blu-Ray.
Personally, I'm upset that there are TWO competing formats.
I discussed both formats with my family at a recent gathering. Not one had ever heard of Blu-Ray. Nice job Sony. When I mentioned HD DVD, they all immediately recognized it was a better high definition version of DVD.
What I'm looking at between the two formats is quality. Right now HD DVD has the better quality. It also has the movies which I find more interesting. And the price, while expensive, is still far more affordable.

I have to say I'm leaning towards HD DVD
