I need help making an HD DVD player decision so please help me out!

Hey All,

Right now I just have an upconvert DVD player on a 60-inch Sony TV. While the upconvert does a nice job; Circuit City online has an HD DVD player for just $99 this week and it comes w/ 2 movies. I feel like this is a steal esp. since all of the HD DVD movies on eBay are taking a steep price drop and there is a big selection. Since I cannot afford a BLU-RAY player just now--what do you guys think? Should I just go for it? Does HD DVD look THAT MUCH DIFFERENT than BLU-RAY? My brother who is against the idea said, "Why don't you just go buy a Beta-Max while you're at it!" Then I started thinking how I heard Beta was better than VHS but VHS won the war. But I feel like it has nothing to do w/ that. I just look at it as getting the same technology (albeit discontinued) for a cheap price while I wait for BLU-RAY prices to drop and God knows when that will be! What do you guys think? Any help is greatly appreciated
