One of three things will get me into HD:

1. SD/HD combo discs
2. Meridian coming up with a decent dual format player (and I can justify its cost) with DVD-A support.
3. A cheap dual format DVD/HD recorder for my HDV tapes. Or possibly a PC burner.

With #1, I am likely to start buying HD software before I buy hardware - I only want to buy software once. As I have other SD DVD sources that I regularly use, im not going to make these obsolete by buying HD only media - even if this means that there is a small premium to pay for this option.

I have enough boxes sitting under my TV and I don't want any more. Infact, I would like to reduce the number. Im certainly not going to buy one box for HD-DVD and one box for blu-ray - even if they are disguised as games consoles.

This announcement only goes to backup my feelings over the last few months. Triple format (SD/HD-DVD/blu-ray) is the way to go.
