So what to buy presently? Blu-ray or HD DVD?
Answers: The war is really over.
As of Fridays announcement that Warner would formulate only BD movies after May '08, the smash of the war have been declared. Blu-Ray. I thought it might bear a year for it to happen but presently I think it will be VERY soon that HD DVD closes up shop.
HD DVD be hit hard and is scramble to recover. They be surprised by Warners move to back BD and even cancelled the HD DVD event at this years CES.

Warner chose to do this because Blu-Rays enjoy outsold HD DVDs 2-1.
Many people beleive that this spells the lapse of HD DVD and a win for BD, me among them

Furthermore Paramount has a clause within their contract allowing them to pull out of HD DVD surrounded by the event that Warner went Blu-Ray exclusive. Well since that happen expect Paramount (and of course Dreamworks) to switch to BD. This leaves with the sole purpose Universal for HD DVD. (Giving BD about 85% of the movies human being made in Hollywood.)
I know that HD DVD will spar back. Expect great deal and free offers from HD DVD. But realistically the period of war is over.
Ultimately the only mode for consumers to win is for one of them to win so that all of the studios will put together HD movies in a format accessable to everyone. I also expect that once Blu-Ray win (or HD DVD if that happens) you will see second and third tier manufacturers to variety players driving the price to $100 by 2009-1010. Funai just announce one for $299.
They own to make this begin or the window is going to close and internet HD movies are going to lug over before BD have a chance to flourish. LG and Netflick hold already announced an internet movie device and VUDU's machine is already available.
Buy very soon or buy later but buy Blu-Ray.
Don't buy anything until the open market decides, length. Both formats are about equal quality-wise. Blue-Ray is a more dense format and provide more crap than you want. Hold bad buying anything. One hint. Blu-Ray seem to be winning. Just lurk until they do and save profoundly of grief and money.
