Actually HD-DVD player is coming out sooner (march) than bluray player (april). Bluray format isn't even ready yet, so I doubt that it will come even in april. They're still coding bluray java.

Whenever it is i doubt i will be buying them, most will wait for the consoles to arrive which will be a while since xbox has been takin back into review and rumors say that ps3 could possible come out as late as 2007

True but waiting a while is good too. They'll be rushing to drop prices to get more sales. And if at that time suddenly lots of people buy and it's good for Sony and MS. And XBox is supporting HD-DVD since Microsoft supports HD-DVD and obviously PS3 supports Bluray since Sony helped make it.

Well that looks ok, but it isn't even widescreen. And all HDTV resolutions are widescreen. I suggest that you buy a tv which has a native resolution of 1080i, since HD-DVD and bluray are going to be on that resolution. 1080p tv would be the best way to go, but they're quite expensive.

That is exactly what arcanix is saying. For your television to be future proof it must at least be widescreen since the "Widscreen" aspect ratio is where the industy is going. All movies are originaly shot in widescreen and all HDTV content is in widescreen (but not all DTV formats)!
You would be better off buying the 30" Widescreen Slim-fit model (by the same company).

Well all high definition broadcasts must be widescreen, since hd-standard picture ratio is always 16:9.

All movies and most series are in widescreen. But anyway, I was talking about HD broadcasts, so it doesn't what they broadcast today. And new consoles are in HD, so it would be a wise choice to get a widescreen HDTV.

Yes. The 360 and PS3 are 16:9.
Analog tv broadcast and displays are all 4:3 ratio.
Digital tv broadcast and displays can be either 4:3 or 16:9.
All HDTV broadcast are 16:9 ratio.

Yes, in their default state (HD resolution).
Microsoft teamed up with Samsung to make the 360 compatible with all HDTV formats. Meaning that the 360 hardware was tested and optimised for Samsung brand Widescreen HDTVs. Thats why no matter what retail store you walk into the Xbox 360 games are always displayed with a samsung hdtv (in the official Xbox 360 kiosk of course).

i have a 4:3 Samsung HDTV....so if i go buy a 360 and want to play a game like halo 2 or somekind of game with the little status bars and gauges (the ones that shows how much life you have and how many bullets you have left)in the corner(s) of the screen, part of the status bar or gauge would be cut off so i couldnt see the whole thing!?

That just doesn't make since. Halo 2 is an Xbox game made for standard 4:3 tvs (even though it also has a widescreen mode). At worst there would be letter boxing at the top and bottom like a widescreen movie.
The xbox 360 has a 4:3 mode so don't worry about it, its not an issue.
We are talking about where technology is now and where it is going is all.
Widescreen isn't a fad!
