No.Limberger responds:
I did something similar and got an HD-DVD player.  Then, not long
thereafter,
Sony had convinced WB to go blu-ray exclusive and HD-DVD died.  At that
point, my interest in switching to the more expensive blu-ray format
was not that important.  I only have a few HD-DVD's and still have the
HD-DVD
player, which I use primarily to watch standard DVD's.

Maybe in another year I'll decide to get a blu-ray player.
