Newsflash for you -- everyone who buys HD DVD or Blu-Ray is an early adopter. The formats sells roughly 10,000 disks/month, compared to MILLIONS of DVDs/month.
And have you looked at the things posted on this site? They are NOT for J6P, they're almost entirely for early adopters. Not a very good argument.
PLUS - I frequently see articles on this site talking about products that are only available in Japan (for example). Why mention those if J6P won't be able to buy them in a store?
