why not buy them the winning format, HD-DvD

I haven’t decided on which HD format I am going to get them but this will seal the deal for them to get a new TV right quick instead of dragging their feet. The Toshiba HD-A30 (HD-DVD Player) is $313 shipped so I might end up going that route. Haven’t decided yet, basically but I wanted to just throw it out there.
