For people thinking about getting the HD-DVD player for the Xbox360, keep in mind that the XBox doesn't have HDMI. (a new version recently announced does include HDMI, I think)
If (when) studios start to turn on the Image Constraint Token (ICT) on movies then any player not connected via HDMI will scale down to 480p. Right now there is some sort of a backroom agreement not to use ICT, but it is part of the specification on both HD-DVD and Blu-ray.
