Why you should wait to buy: Blu-ray technology is rapidly evolving.

The battle of high-definition DVD formats came to an end in February, when HD DVD manufacturer Toshiba announced it would no longer produce or sell its players. With HD DVD out of the way, buyers of winning format Blu-ray need not worry that they're investing in the next Betamax. But hold off until the 2008 holiday shopping season, and you'll get a machine that's more advanced (the latest 2.0 models are due out this summer) and less pricey (Blu-ray manufacturers lost their common competitor in HD DVD, and so will now begin battling each other). Read our story here for more reasons why it's wise to wait.
