I really think there are at minimum two things someone buying in to either format needs to know.

1) Movie selection is different - check the titles that are "must haves" for you.

2) Read up on Blu-ray and its profiles. If being able to play future titles and all the features that go with them, then you will want a player that supports profile 2.0. PS3 is the only player today that MAY support this.

Other than that, is there really any surprise someone might get? PQ/AQ is all pretty much the same. I think the above are the only 2 items that could bite someone in the ass later.
