I agree, the cost of the player doesn’t make much difference. What does make a difference is the availability of the DVD’s them selves. If they are not available at the rental stores or from Netflix the format will be of no use to most people. I know that some of you buy a lot of DVD’s. I buy a few but most of what I watch are those that I rent. For me, and I suspect a lot of other people, the player will not be of much use if I can’t rent the movies to play in them. Having two formats in the market will assure that the rental stores stay away from the new format.
