Um, mlody11, one major flaw with your Warner argument. Warner started exclusive to HD DVD, then went neutral, and still HD DVD was getting clobbered by Blu-ray. If they had gone to HD DVD, at best there would have been a prolonged stalemate in the format war. That's exactly what they said they wanted to avoid.
I'm only saying wait for 2.0 (if you don't want a PS3) because it seems that most forum members want to ensure their player meets all the specs. I personally think BD-Live is going to be mostly a waste of time, like the current examples of Internet-enabled titles on HD DVD that let you buy crappy licensed merchandise using your HD DVD player. Oooooh, what a wonderful use of the technology! Not.
