On a side note, if you could not care less about bluray OR HD-DVD,
because plain old fashioned DVD's are good enough for you, (and heck
if I'm going to yet again re-buy all my library of movies just to make
them bluray) you might still want to consider grabbing a brand-new
HDDVD player now at fire sale blow-out prices, because they will up-
rez a standard DVD to look darn good on your HD TV, for what now is a
really pretty good price. Target Direct was one such place blowing
them out the door. Plenty others.

It's not obsolete if you have a use for it.

An excellent suggestion, IMHO. Thanks.

Why would you want to pay 200 bucks for a up convert DVD player when you
can find them easily for about 49 dollars now?

Because you can buy a fire-sale HD-DVD player
that will play those (soon-to-be-obsolete) discs.
