I think it's still too early to tell...but if current dvd disc can be viewed
in the new HD-DVD machines then I think that will be enough an advantage to
convince owners of current large dvd disc collections to buy a new HD-DVD
system, rather than a new machine and have two incompatible dvd collections
and 2 machines in their system.

But then again, maybe Blu-Ray machines will be able to read older dvd discs?
I thought not but could it be possible?
And if not, maybe they can sell a unit with two slide out draws, one for dvd
and one for BD. That might work.

Bigger storage is a good selling point also for me, so it's too close to
call for me yet.
