There is quite a bit of fud being passed by both sides. The truth is that the number of studios releasing disks are the same for both camps (though the actual numbers vary by +/- depending on who you count). There are now two combo players out there, and as soon as the China gets into the act, there will be more. As soon as the price of a decent combo player comes to the point where it costs less than one of each the war will end with a stalemate.
(probably by next XMAS).

I just bought a new Vizio GV52LF 52" lcd tv and an Oppo DV-981HD upconverting dvd player. I'm happy with the PQ of my current DVD collection on this gear, and I'm happy to sit out the format war.
