I'm a bit disappointed as well. I'd like to hear more about the plans Sony and Disney have for launch. Like which titles will be released.

Sony has already mastered all of their library into hd. I think I've read about 1500 titles. Nothing specific as that would be just a cheap effort.

Studios such as DreamWorks, Fox and Miramax (Disney) have supplied 1080 progressive footage of films (Madagascar, Star Wars, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Kill Bill) for the event, too.
Here is a link http://www.webpronews.com/news/ebusi...kOnHDDVDs.html

Next generation Blu-ray DVD players will ship with built-in support for Sun Microsystem's Java, which will be used for interactivity features. The announcement was made at Sun's JavaOne conference in San Francisco on Tuesday and could prove a big win for the technology that has largely remained Web-based.
Java in Blu-ray means next-generation DVD players could have advanced network capabilities, such as the ability to download added content from the Internet.

But despite backing from Blu-ray, Java's adoption in the living room is far from shored up. A competing high-definition DVD standard, known as HD-DVD and backed by Toshiba, will reach the market before Sony-developed Blu-ray.

News yes, news I care about no.

The sort of news I'm interested in, is when the first players will be released, their price, spec etc. When the firast discs will be released, prices, features etc etc. This is the sort of news I'm interested in. Though when the format will be released is of main interest really. As far as I can see, nothing will be released this year. Well, certainly not in the Uk at least.

I understand that. There has been too much talk about this so called "format war" and it seems like that's the only thing media cares about, the conflict, often making up stuff to make a story.

But the real stuff is coming soon, there will be lots of announcements over the summer. I assume finally some realy details pretty soon
