2) Intervideo and/or Cyberlink HD-DVD playback software becomes readily available and is not prohibitively expensive
3) HDMI/DVI-HDCP video cards become readily available and you can walk into blah retailer and pick one up off the shelf.
4) cases 1-2-3 all actually work and allow fairly easy setup of an HD-DVD 1080P playback HTPC.

22 (23.4%) [B] Would buy the Xbox 360 HD-DVD addon for use with my Xbox 360
