HD DVD exclusive (Toshiba XA2),
since Blu-ray players are not yet finalized and I don't buy products in beta status.
Also prefer having no region code and cheaper prices (movies and hardware).
But could consider going neutral if that changed.

Because of some recent good sales on Blu-ray titles at Amazon and Circuit City I'm now supporting both formats even though I don't own a Blu-ray player.

Both. I got (what I thought was a great deal) the HD-A2 at Crutchfield for $180 back in June. I just recently scored a great deal on the BDP-S1 for my Blu-Ray player(this thing is built like a tank). With all of the BOGO deals floating around this past month, I'm about 50/50 on my software purchases.

HD-DVD ALL THE WAY, BABY!!! 
(...well, at first anyway, but when Disney titles started popping out, Treesa made me buy a PS3.
)
So I've got a XA1, a PS3, and a Good Woman and Love 'em all!

I'm HD DVD only -- I have absolutely no interest in owning two different players for two different types of media. For those Bluray exclusive discs, I'm okay with SD (the A2 upconverts beautifully), although I'm finding that I have less interest in SD in general -- perhaps I'll begin renting them instead of buying. So essentially, HD DVD is going to help me SAVE money by curbing my spending habits! Of course, all that money will now go into HD DVDs...

With HDDVD winning in the polls among single format owners, I wonder how many of those are within the last week or so with the $99 and $199 pricing?
I know before last week I was a BD only guy and now both with more HD titles than Blu
