Yes it was my first post... ty for the nice response. BTW - I own PS3 and HD-Dvd player (X-Box 360) so I really have no preference for the hd players or formats really. In my personal opinion... neither format will win in the end, since everyone is making dual-hd players (LG has a nice one - $1,199 too much for me) This new disc format (True-HD) sounds consumer/studio friendly in that it doesn't favor either player. Hopefully, the cost of this disk sits with HD-Dvd pricing or lower, since most people (not HD enthusiasts) can hardly justify the $5 average increase (HD-Dvd) let alone the $10 to $15 increase (Blu-Ray) per disk. [And these disks aren't even dual-format i.e. 480p on one side for standard players & HD on the reverse...]
