" I would probably go with the BR version because I still, in my gut, feel that format has the advantage in the long run. "

Simon,
Just curious why you feel that way ? PQ and SQ are almost identical on both formats AFAIK. I dont even have a Hd-DVD player yet but I'm buying discs already ( Thanks to all the 'Reviews' from all here wink ) .

I feel BD is designed more to benefit the 'industry' itself and the more transparent Hd-DVD Group gives me the same benefits without Region Coding ( yet ) and BD+ and is therefore more deserving of my dollar/pound/euro.

If it later becomes a Blu world I can always add a ( Universal ) player and join up .

Or maybe just enjoy my CD, DVD and Hd-DVD collections and take up golf or playing guitar instead laugh
