I personally wouldn't bother with this player; I'd still recommend a PS3 as a Blu-Ray player but if you're looking for a cheap way in, this player is good.
At the end of the day, either of the 2 formats during the format war would be in the exact same situation as Blu-Ray is in now except HD-DVD would be a bit cheaper for the lowest end player.
To be totally honest, yes Blu went 1.0, 1.1 and then 2.0 but even 1.0 will play every movie and most people don't even look at any bonus features/content or use any of the online abilities; I'm not one of those most people so I spent more to get the extra features.
I respect your stance against Blu but you really haven't given any good reasons for your opinion that Blu will fail. For me, I'd support the wining format after the format war regardless of who won because I want my HD movies on optical media. Blu 2.0 actually is equal or better technically in every aspect than HD-DVD even if they got there in a bad way. So I'm kind of glad that the format with the larger capacity and scratch proof coating won even though I wouldn't have stood behind either format while the war was on.
