I can appreciate that. I was caught out and bought a HD player the week before it was all sorted! But like you I have both types now and more BD disks than HD. I did purchase a few HD disks though as they were selling them off for next to nothing after the decision was made.
Hey you are lucky at least. I was into BD back in 2006. You did not experience the blow I was experiencing when Paramount switched side to HD DVD. It was a real joy for me when Warner did the opposite.
I am a PlayStation fanboy, and this is why I was on to BD very early. I got myself an original PS3 (the first batch of Japanese release - since I am anti-English language games. I prefer to play Japanese one). This was to play PS2 games, not PS3 games. It was to be honest, a dangerous gambling, roller coaster ride. It was really expensive. Now, I got at least 6 BD readers/writers (2 for laptop, 4 for desktop and 2 PS3, though none of them are proper BD players). My BDs are now about 100+.
I got into HD DVD because I really wanted this HP Pavilion HDX, but it came only with HD DVD. So before I bought it, I secured a BD writer off ebay for £200+. I took off HD DVD from the laptop as soon as I got it, and installed the blu-ray drive (alas, with HD DVD bezel). I am still using it externally though (I own 2 HD DVD drives in total, including that hybrid LG one)
