    and I'm on board! Until then, it doesn't really matter, now does it? Though to be perfectly fair, I don't want to see any Sony format win, so hopefully this sale will do something to secure the future... You know, assuming either of these are even still relevant in the future once those holographic projectors come out.

    That sounds like the comments of a poor person. A 32" LCD TV is $400-$500, an Xbox is $400, and the HDDVD drive is $200... Altogether a little over a thousand dollars for an HD DVD setup. If you don't have a thousand dollars in disposable income in a year, you need to change jobs.
