A big problem for me with the HD DVD's is the cost of the actual disks. Getting the equipment to play everything is expensive but its a huge upgrade and would be worth it to a lot of people. I'd love an HDTV to watch sports games on, just because it looks so great. However, the DVD's are way too expensive. I'll buy a movie I really like if its around $10, but that same movie would cost about $30 for HD.

I can see myself getting an HD player sometime, but I think most of my movie collection would stay on regular DVD unless its one of those movies that demands top of the line picture and sound quality.
