PS just for the fun of it search for how many replicators can do DVD-18
There is also the fact that a combo costs a lot more to produce and replicate. so instead of making more money (which is what studios want with HD) they would make less

ok. but while it may not be capable or feasible today, it should be in the future.

disagree, a war always adds anxiety to people, IF HD DVD was gone people would feel more comfortable buying players and building their collection.

Yes, but with the market in the US only being 40% of homes anyway, how much of a difference do you really see it making? You do realize that nearly half of that 40% are even watching things in HD today anyway.
The majority of the consumers likely won't buy any player until its under $100.
