I was really hoping for HD DVD to be the winner. I bought my parents one of the $100 players at walmart back in November for christmas (plus it came with 5 free HD DVDs) so now they are stuck with dead technology. On the other hand I don’t feel too bad because honestly that player upscales regular DVDs so well they honestly look HD quality. This is where I think most consumers are going now anyways: buy a good upconverting player and wait for the next technology to come out. Seems logical to me I mean who wants to pay $400 for a Bluray player and then $30/movie?
