Then what\'s the point? No movie company is backing HD-DVD from what I heard. HD-DVD is done.

Wrong most are playing the middle and backing both.
But Sony owns Columbia Pictures and recently bought MGM.

My point exactly. Thanks for the info mm :) Blu-ray definitely is gonna be the winner. Both may be released but its gonna be like the Beta vs. VHS.

Four of those studios are sony. I think Hd-dvd could still win because it is more a step beyond the current media. Rather than a complete change of format.

I would expect the others to come around and back hd-dvd if it picks up. Even sony if blueray does not win. Just like beta. Sony lost and had to come around.

Personally I am fine with the current media and won\'t buy into any at this current moment. There is no real reason for me to want blueray or hd-dvd at this time.

Here\'s some more fun news:

Quote
LAS VEGAS - It was supposed to be the grand unveiling of a new generation in home entertainment when Kevin Collins of Microsoft Corp. popped an HD DVD disc into a Toshiba production model and hit "play." Nothing happened.

The failed product demo at this week\'s International Consumer Electronics Show was hardly an auspicious start for the HD DVD camp in what\'s promising to be a nasty, drawn-out technology format war reminiscent of the Betamax/VHS video tape battle.


Also, here\'s the list of manufacturers for players of each camp:

Blu-Ray:

Sony
yamaha
jvc
phillips
samsung
lg
mitsubishi
panasomic
zenith
Pioneer
Hitachi
Sharp

HD-DVD:

Toshiba
Sanyo
