I think the biggest problem will be to get all the "regular" folk (yes, I'm calling us irregular ) to now plunk down some money for another "dvd" player to hook up to thier 21" tv, when they probably will not be able to see the difference.

I honestly think this will be a tough sell, regardless of who wins the format war - unless they can figure out how to make HD DVDs compatible with the current dvd players on the market.
