Warner just jumped with Blu-Ray as well as New Line...The rot issue, I think, has been resolved, just don't buy any discs that are "on sale". It would appear that the Blu-Ray format will prevail now that it has a sizable lead in publishers. However, one should keep in mind that yet another format is fast approaching...broadband On Demand HD...Tivo as well as Netflix are launching set-top boxes that will deliver HD movies when you want them....I know you kind of wrote it off but the Wii doesn't really need a lot of space, for most games other than WiiSports. I love the Wii....as far as playing HD games you should be able to connect your computer via HDMI, SVGA won't give true HD. If you don't have HDMI on your PC a video card update would be in order.
