I think the only safe bet at the moment is that a dual format HD-DVD / Blue Ray player is going to become common place..

Which if it were to happen would be a double whammy because it would be a continuation of this 2 format status quo and mean that both parties were wrong. Those early adopters who went with HD-DVD and those who went with Blu-Ray would both find themselves having to buy a new player!

This is why until this is finally resolved the best way to hedge your bets is to buy a PS3 and rent discs from Netflix. Over 80% of people who buy a PS3 don't buy it for Blu-Ray movies so you still have a second hand market for your purchase even if Blu-Ray fails to win out and you don't have any redundant discs to sell.
