[QUOTE="Kai Winters, post: 2806182, member: 574994"] I would love to buy a hd/blue ray player but at the current prices and the format war I just can not justify the purchase. I have seen both formats on varied systems and they are great. I do not see a format winner. Perhaps we will have both formats supported, see the new LG dvd player that supports both formats but is $1200 smackeroos, with no winner. That would not be too bad. But for me either choice may mean spending several hundred dollars or a bit more "re-buying" already purchased SD dvd's of my favorite movies. I am waiting for the cost of either format player to drop to $300 then I will buy one of the other. I would pay $500 for the dual format player but not $1200. I am a survivor of the 8 track to cassette evolution, vhs to dvd evolution and will survive the current format wars but with a bit more wisdom and money in my pocket...I hope lol. I have a very nice LG 50" plasma that is dying to show off with one of the hd formats but is surviving with my $80 Philips dvd player that actually works **** good for its' cost. Good luck and I hope you all survive lol. [/QUOTE]
