No, I'm quite serious. I'll be buying the XA2. I'll wait to see what kind of reviews it gets but I'm fairly certain it will be an ok player. Better than the A1, hopefully. There's too many Universal HD DVD's out there that I really don't want to wait for. That's pretty much the only reason I'm getting one.
I still think Blu-ray will win the format war. I'll admit that there have been problems with the format but I'm confident that will turn around quickly. Luckily, I'm willing to forgive unlike most people who went from BD to HD DVD.
The problem is really Universal DVDs. I want to see Casino (Universal) in HD more than I want to see any BD that has been released up to this point. I love movies too much to only support 1 format.
Someone on this forum said "HD DVD is here now. Why wait?" I'll agree with that.
