For What it's worth....
I have a HD D1 (HD DVD) since 6/06
I also have a PS3. (Blu Ray) since 6/07
I Rented most HDM movies (Netflix) and only bought a few. (Less that 15)
lately I have balked at the $25-$30 price tags on the HDM movies and have also canceled Netflix.
I prefer to watch at my leisure and found I was holding onto HDM flix for too long to make the $20 a month Netflix fee worthwhile. (and waiting for HDM flix to become available was another reason.)
For the last few moths I've been watching HD Movies from Premium HD channels (HBO, Starz etc.) and I find myself quite happy with the result for most movies. IMO Waiting a few months for them to appear on pay channels is another "Nail in the Coffin" for HDM,
For example I just watched "300" last night for the first time.
My HD D1 sits dormant and I use My PS3 for playing games.
I have hundreds of DVD movies. 95% of those I'll never watch again. A waste of money and space. An expense I'll not repeat with HDM.
