whats the point in even getting a Blu-ray or hddvd, wait untill the technology is more refined, even though now i'm leaning towards Blu-ray because there $999usd plus it can burn

Well my point in getting Blu-ray or HD-DVD is that I watch movies constantly and it's the only HD source I will have for now excluding my gaming consoles. Another reason I will be getting one or the other is becuase I want a new PC around the hollidays and I want it to already have HD-DVD or Blu-ray, or I want the drives to be out when I buy the computer so I can either already have HD-DVD/Blu-Ray built in or can upgrade as soon as I get it and I won't have to worry about upgrading it a month or two after I get it.
