Anything out there (or on the horizon) which plays both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray?
There are a couple of combo devices, yes, but if I remember correctly, they’re more expensive than most standalone HD-DVD/Blu-Ray players.
For what it’s worth, I would go with Blu-Ray in the form of the Playstation 3. Even if you never use it to play games, it’s still one of the cheapest Blu-Ray players on the market.
