I found an Evan Almighty duo-pack, which came with both an HD DVD and a standard DVD disc for only $35. Considering I lend a lot of my movies out to friends, this was a great deal for me. I also noticed some older movies at good prices at Amazon.com -- For example, Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremacy are being offered right now for $25. Personally I have been surprised by Blu-rays strong support in the manufacturer realm, but it's essentially a dead-even split in the studio arena. It would make the "war" really exciting to see someone like Warner select one side or the other. Most “new” HD and Blu-ray movies are running around the $30 price, with some exceptions.

HD has the better name and the much better price. I can see myself buying a $300 player for Christmas, but not a $500 one. By the way, what are the costs of movie disks in both formats?
