NOT Groovy! HD vs. Blu-Ray DVD Players

According to Electronic House magazine, at least 81% of tech-savvy consumers will not buy a proprietary dvd player for fear of one losing out over the other (rewind to BetaMax).

Do I buy the HD-DVD player or the Blu-Ray DVD player? I've seen more ads lately for Blu-Ray but that doesn't mean it's winning (or going to). Even the pc companies can't decide what to offer it's customers (for us custom-built consumers, that is). I've been watching the quad core for a while and keep pricing on Alienware to watch the price drop and they are offering the Blu-Ray DVD drive as an upgrade option...for about $1000.00 (yikes!). Not worth the risk yet (and of course the prices will drop quickly), but I'd rather drop that at the casino or slap on more memory

LG, however, has come out with a combo HD-BluRay dvd player that is getting decent reviews (read cnet.com's review here). You can buy one at Best Buy Online, just type "BH100" in the search field.
