What group do you fall in to?

My brother was decidedly ambivalent towards HDM until the Walmart sale, at which point he wanted an A2. Since the local WM, BB, etc. were all sold out of A2's instantly, I got in on the A3 deal for him today for Christmas.

I voted for New to High Definition. I was on the fence mostly because of price and jumped on the A-3 deal with 10 free movies since I had $55 in reward zone money. I'm a little miffed that I have way more movies I like on BluRay than HD-DVD, but I'm not paying $400 for a BluRay player. I'll pay $150 though with a bunch of free movies

I bought an A2 as a gift on Friday and an A3 for myself as a second player in the bedroom.

Infrared Sight

New to HD. Been waiting for $99 to pull the trigger and this got me in.

Mr. Cinema

Bought 2 A3s, 1 for me, 1 as a gift.

BravesMG

Same here, except with A2s. Second HD-DVD player for me, one for my Xmas gift to my brother.

Hammer99

Bought 1 $99 A2 for a gift. Still sticking with my A1 for now, & waiting for reviews on the Onkyo.

I was BD exclusive but decided this was a good time to allow myself access to a small handful of titles I'd really like but are HD exclusives. So saying I'm now neutral isn't very accurate. I still hope BD wins and will be providing far more support to BD than I will HD.

I voted for New. My best friend runs a CD Warehouse store, and we were talking 2 weeks ago about how the format war is still going strong, and that neither of us would be purchasing a 'next gen' player until the Combo players came down in price...Thursday afternoon I called him and told him about the WM HDDVD deal, and he was like "What? $98? If you go, can you grab me one?"

I've been on the fence the entire time. I thought BluRay would be where I'd end up eventually, and I didn't want to skip out on HDDVD, either. But I loved the fact that Sony is eating it on the PS3 (even though I'd like one eventually), so I was holding off. The price changed all of it, as I had been looking for an upconverting player recently anyways, so it might as well be HD for $20 more than the SD upconverting player I was scouting out...

Nefarious

Ditto. My regular DVD player that does upconversion is on the fritz and I was holding out hoping Xmas would bring deals on HD-DVD. Wife grabbed one for me as a Christmas present.

I really thought that I would wait it out until there was a format winner. This deal was just too good to pass up. Now I will purchase a Blu-Ray player after Christmas and be format neutral. I still haven't decided how I am going to split my purchases of HD-DVD, Blu-Ray, and Standard Dvd's.

Holly Martins

I had done some preliminary research and was leaning slightly towards BlueRay, but I decided to wait until at least next Summer before taking the plunge, in the hope that a clear format winner would be revealed by then.

However, I found WalMart's $89 special on the A2 to be too sweet a deal to pass up.

Now I'm firmly committed to HD DVD.

FusionX

Thanks to Wal-Mart, I now have HD-DVD in four rooms. I held off on a player for the basement until now, but this deal was too good to pass on.

freshticles

I bought and A-30 this weekend. I'm loving every second of it so far

speedyray

Well, I was involved in the purchase of 3 - 2 for people not yet in the HD fray, and 1 that will be a backup unit for me or a gift - not sure yet. I voted new to HD since the main reason they were purchased was so my brother could go HD.

I Was a HD-DVD Virgin!

I had bought a 60GB PS3 about 2 weeks ago (still have not opened it), primarily for Blu-ray, with the PS games being secondary. Getting a HD-DVD player (the HD-A3) for $175+tax plus 10 free movies was too good to pass up.

I already have it hooked up and have watched some stuff with it. The PS3 is still in the box.

GreenMonkey

I bought one for one of my XBL buddies in Canada. I'll be mailing it to him as they're a lot more expensive up there.

I've almost bought a second one a few times just for the freebie movies. Still mulling it over.
