We've been putting up with this 720p,1080i,1080p for a few years now, why not a few years of HD/BR?
I don't think the real deal will be decided until the masses start buying those above mentioned digital tv's to view digital content OTA. Until then, a good old fashioned price war is to the benefit of everyone who isn't an early adopter with plenty of ca$h to burn.
If BR doesn't lower prices soon though, they're in danger to go the way of laserdisks, just as hd dvd needs to either go all in or nothing with the combo discs that are keeping them from being the low price point leader.
