I bought a combo player for dirt for my HTPC and picked up a nice collection of about 30 hd dvd's all for under 400 bucks. From now on out, it looks like i'll just be buying blurays for 20+ each, but it was definitely nice stockin up on a high def movie collection for the price of dvd's. =)
I didn't care who won the format war... and to be honest both bluray and HD DVD look and sound the same to me. I just wish there were more movies that use 7.1 sound so I can make use of my home theater system. Why advertise it so much if rarely any movies actually have it?
I also have a Dual Player for my PC. I was able to find a good deal on it. Now I want to go out and buy a small form factor PC like a Shuttle XPC or something so I don't have to bring my Tower downstairs. They have $7 - $11 HD-DVD movies at Fry's. I need to go buy more while the pickings still good. I at the very least need to rack up all Harry Potters and Transformers.

Hell, 5.1 isn't used as much as it should be. I see more and better use of surround sound from modern video games that I'll ever see from movies.
