Great article cooksta, and an interesting debate. Unfortunately for us the UK is lagging behind on broadband speeds, so I wonder if this will actually help with the uptake of HD-DVD, as streaming Movies are still a way off I guess.
I think that a lot of people will wait until they invest in High Definition; at he end of the day its a nice "feature", but if you currently own a nice TV, a good DVD player with surround sound you get a pretty good cinematic experience.
Although I must admit I haven't actually seen any High Definition images.
Interesting to see how this one plays out...
Here is a good Q&A from the BBC:
