They should play the existing format.

As to which to choose. That's really hard to say at this point.

HD-DVD is developed by Toshiba and NEC where Blu-ray is developed by Sony.

Remember what happend to the beta format?

Here's a good article on the hddvd site. It may be biased though.

(I've heard ) Bluray will be dead within a year of release, and HDDVD won't be far behind, two halfassed technologies racing to come out first, and both suck

Wait until the format battle is over...hopefully there will be a clear winner. Like VHS and Beta, although Beta was a better format it lost out on the format wars.
