WAITING FOR BLU-RAY: So I’ve been holding out for this combination HD-DVD / Blu-Ray player. It got great reviews way back in July, but now it’s October and it’s still not shipping. There’s not even an estimated shipping date. Should I keep waiting, or should I just buy an HD-DVD and a Blu-Ray player separately?

The prices have dropped enough that I might be able to buy this high-rated HD-DVD player and this Sony Blu-Ray player and not spend much, if any, more. On the other hand, the notion of having to buy two just bugs me somehow.

UPDATE: Lots of responses, but here’s reader Matt Tubbs’:

Why not get a PS3 and a Xbox 360? You’d pay about the same, plus you’d have two game consoles. (Plus surf the web, store pictures, video, etc)

My worry is that then I’d start gaming. . . .
