I too got an HD-A2, but I don't feel that I'm out anything, as I sold my Oppo player, and used that to finance the HD-A2, and it only cost me $2 more, plus it does a better job of upconverting standard def dvd's, and I sitll get 5 free HD DVDs in the process. I also have a PS3, so I was good to go no matter which format one, although I'm glad it's blu ray that won.
