Blu-Ray and HD DVD

I want to upgrade my dvd player and there are a lot of nice choices out there right now. However, I'm concerned that whatever I buy now will be obsolete in a few months when blu ray (HD DVD?) hits the market. Am I missing something or is now the time to wait instead of plunking down serious cash on a player that isn't HD compatible? Also, am I mistaken in thinking that blu-ray = HD DVD?

The computer side loves blu-ray for the storage capacity. Hollywood wants HD-DVD so they don't need to spend as much on changing manufacturing.

There are blu-ray players from Panasonic, Sharp, and Sony already availible in the Japanese market.

I'm betting on blu-ray to win out this format war.
