WB will either make a choice or not. Period. I don't see any other studio from any other side going anywhere right now.
However, I do believe some CEs will either start making Dual Players or HD DVD stand alones. That is something I do think might happen at CES.

A really big flat panel TV, if I recall.
Meanwhile, I hope more CE's do start making dual format players. To me, that's one of the best ways to sidestep this format war. I plan on picking up one of the Sammys when they go down in price, just as a backup player.

I think dual-format players are the path to laserdisc/SACD status. Not that something like laserdisc status would be a complete failure, just that HDM will never overtake DVD (on new releases, overall might already be out of the question).

Anyone hear the Blu Ray site got hacked last week and redirected to the HD-DVD site? I don't condone stuff like that, but it is pretty funny.

I just saw on HighDefDigest that they're letting people vote on the cover for Baron Munchausen: http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/sh...y_Box_Art/1299
You have until December 27th. Personally I like the first choice, but I'm not surprised the third one is winning because it looks hand-drawn. I don't like the colors on that one as much though.

I do look forward to my new player in my next box of Coco Puffs though!

I can assure you that he is MOST DEFINITELY not a paid puppet. You promote him to a status he is most definitely not capable of serving.
Merry Christmas to all.

Question for anyone who has 2001, looking at the comparisons given on that site and I don't know how accurate those screens are but to me it doesn't look like much of an upgrade. It actually looks worse. Please tell me that's not how 2001 looks as all reviewers have been giving it a 5 star video rating which is contradictory to what's shown below.
Take a look here for the screenshots: http://hd-discs.mbmg.de/2001_1080ibr...-vs-hd/01.html (Warning Large Files)

^ Hmm, somewhat disappointing. The broadcast was EXCELLENT!! I havent watched my copy yet. The detail looks better in the broadcast pictures, but the colors look better in the Bluray pics. I guess its not surprising since VC-1 smooths the picture some. That looks like alot though!

Hidalgo, Unbreakable, and Coyote Ugly from Disney ---> April 1st
Might have to finally rewatch Unbreakable. Still, Disney needs to get off their ass and put Pulp Fiction on Blu-ray. I mean, if Coyote Ugly can come out...
