One of the problems with the upcoming high-def disc formats is everyone's assumption that they won't play the full resolution through analog component connections, thereby requiring existing HDTV owners to either have a HDMI connector, or to get a new TV.
Turns out that the decision to downrez a movie is up to the studio that's authoring the disc... and one of the more influential studios has supposedly claimed that they won't be doing that with their movies. Sony, that is... the ones pushing Blu-Ray. If this is really true, and if other studios releasing on Blu-Ray follow suit, and if Sony can get the friggin' PS3 out the door at a decent price, that just might be enough to tip the scales toward Blu-Ray over HD-DVD. Interesting. IF true. I'm highly skeptical.
