Whenever a new format rolls out, there's always the fear among manufacturers that consumers will stop buying current models while waiting to see what happens with the new ones. Is this true for SACD and DVD-Audio?

Have you delayed buying a disc player until the SACD/DVD-Audio situation settles?
Yes, I'll wait it out.
