It's not saving me any money. To get all my movies in HD I have to buy an HD DVD Player and a Blu-Ray Player because the studios won't support both formats. That's not about consumer choice, that's the consumer getting screwed into having to invest in both and then buy it again when one format is finally agreed on and the other becomes obsolete.
Consumer choice would be making all HD movies available for both platforms. That would be a real win for us.
Unless you've got a giant 1080p set, you probably wont' see much difference between HD and good upconverters.
I've got a decent 720p sony projection deal, and they look about the same (toshiba hd-d2 from costco). That's part of the problem though, that there ISN'T much difference, at least not enough to replace my collection with HD dvds.
I've been netflixing it anyway ever since I decided I didn't need to define myself by the dust collecting dvd library on the shelf.
