Do those of us who've dropped $500 on a player count as having vested interests? I'd really like to continue feeding my new toy movies for years to come.
The $500 I saved buying HD-DVD rather than Blu-Ray is my biggest motivation, although I'm philosophically opposed to deliberately misspelled words. The other reason is that, from what I've read, HD-DVD seems like a much more consumer-friendly system: No region codes, at least initially, and less potential for Sony or someone else to cripple the equipment and software I've already purchased at a later date.
