"so the film list is staggering"
I click on the link and the "staggering" list includes a grand total
of 22 titles, of which I wouldn't pay $10 for any of them now.
Nevermind $25/ea plus $1000 for a player.

I don't mean to get into this Blu-Ray vs HDDVD war nonsense. I like
technology as much as the next guy and have done my share of
bleeding-edge purchases. No more. At least not with this. For
those who do, bless you. You make it cheaper for the rest of us.
But this technology just needs time to mature. Single format,
sub-$300 (for most <$200), and $10-15 movies. Then I'll be all-in.
