I agree w/ Daniel. Wait until the 360 ships with the HD drive built in, should be out around November of this year. As far as why no one is flocking to buy HD DVDs, the problem is probably the high price for the limited dvds released in the format.

I am waiting out the HD DVD vs Blue Ray battle and bought a decent Toshiba upconverting DVD player from Costco for $80 and will pick up the 360 when its released w/ the HD drive in November
