Then there's no point in deferring any DVD purchases 'til the hi-def
version comes out. I am holding off on buying any major movies on DVD
now. There is nothing I want on DVD that cannot wait for the hi def
blu-ray or HD DVD discs to come out. I saw some samples at CES in Las
Vegas and I was blown away by the quality, so I prefer to wait. What you
do is up to you.
