As a video editor\DVD Authorer\Movie watcher, I for one, will not choose either format until one is
decided upon. I refuse to be left in the dust by choosing the losing format. I will wait as long as
it takes. There needs to be a standard. The whole thing is idiotic.

"'Neither format is selling well or at the level I had expected. I had
expected early adopters to step up, and other retailers have had the
same experience,' said Bjorn Dybdahl, president of San Antonio-based
specialty store Bjorn's Stereo Designs Inc."
"But since Samsung Corp. rolled out the first Blu-ray player, priced at
$1,000, in late June, Blu-ray has faced complaints of subpar picture
quality on discs, talk of component shortages for players and other
technical problems."
"'High expectations were set. At every meeting with Sony, every
demonstration was spectacular,' Dybdahl said."
"'Then along comes the first Blu-ray player from Samsung, and that's
when my expectations were hurt,' he said. 'When we put the disc in, all
the salespeople looked around and said it doesn't look much better than
a standard DVD.'"
"Toshiba launched in April its first HD-DVD players, priced at about
$500, and its lower pricing gave HD-DVD an initial lead in unit sales.
Research company The NPD Group Inc. said HD-DVD player unit sales were
33% higher than Blu-ray player unit sales in their respective first six
weeks on the market."
