HD AND Blu-Ray are pretty much still failing to make any substantial market impact.
With the way current trends are going, neither format is really going to penetrate the DVD market enough to become the front-runner, before direct download HD content will become the norm. But, the 360 HD player is still a great deal if you feel like it's something worth investing in. How ya doing, buddy?

Blu-Ray is also owned by Sony, who also own a movie studio themselves. There's a little bit of an unequal advantage that they have.
Their adoption rate seems high now, but it's going to table off once the numbers meet the number of people who own HD televisions. And Blu-Ray DVDs are largely more expensive for companies to produce than regular DVDs, simply because of the delicate materials used in Blu-Ray discs. Don't expect consumer America to support having to pay an extra 10 dollars a movie just because movie companies don't want to pay licensing fees. That's the most bogus thing I've ever heard (although it wouldn't be completely surprising if Sony has all their eggs in that basket -- they don't really tend to be consumer-focused through many of their business decisions in the past two years or so). There's nowhere I can't reach.
