HD DVD is not going to last man, dont buy that DVD player beacsue in a couple years, they will no longer be making discs for it…

HD dvd is VERY limited to who follows them. here is a list of the backers of HD DVD…

Toshiba Corporation  
Hitachi Corporation

Those irnoically are the EXACT SAME 2 drives that come in certian xbox 360’s and that is why xbox got HD DVD and not blue ray.

here are the movie corporations that follow HD DVD its also very short.

Memory-Tech Corporation  
NEC Corporation  
Sanyo Electric Co.

Here are a few people who support Blue Ray DVD… As you can see the quality of the companies listed below are much larger than HD DVD and will not steal business by supporting both.  
LG  
Lite-On  
Mitsubishi  
Panasonic  
Philips  
Pioneer  
Samsung  
Sharp  
Sony

Here are the movie manufactures that support only blue ray…  
Apple Computer Corp.  
Dell, Inc.  
Hewlett Packard Company  
Hitachi, Ltd.  
LG Electronics Inc.  
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation  
Panasonic (Matsushita Electric)  
Pioneer Corporation  
Royal Philips Electronics  
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.  
Sharp Corporation  
Sony Corporation  
TDK Corporation  
Thomson  
Twentieth Century Fox  
Walt Disney Pictures and Television

Its clear that Blue Ray is dominate, and unfortunately i like the Xbox 360 better than the PS3 but I i refuse to get stuck into a dying breed…

Good luck, but i wouldnt waste my money on the drive…
