Wait and See Time for high def DVD

Posted by: Jennifer Netherby

"New Line, btw hasn't yet announced any titles for high def release, but Lasorsa said some will be coming next year on both formats..."

"I haven't heard a number yet for Blu-ray, but I have heard Blu-ray disc sales were twice as high on Blu-ray in the days following the PS3's launch and backers seem pleased so far..."

"The Blu-ray Disc Association has set up a sponsored blog at ZDNet.com to keep insiders up on the latest with the format, such as the recent U.S. media tour the Blu-ray Disc Association undertook. The blog is being done by Andy Parsons of Pioneer and Marty Gordon of Philips."

"...Some questions reflect rumors or speculative information that’s been circulated on a number of discussion forums around the Internet, much of which has caused some confusion. We don’t like confusion about Blu-ray, so when the opportunity came up to start this blog, Marty and I jumped at the opportunity to provide an informal BD-centric site where we can discuss subjects we think are interesting and important, and to provide a place where anyone who’s interested can direct questions to a couple of “official” BDA guys...."

Excellent news. I have bookmarked that blog, though it seems like a promotional blog at the moment, with little information. Hopefully we'll get some good leaks from it soon.

This is great news for HD DVD!

FUD Breaker? There is no such thing. They are out in full force over this thing at AVS. Silly people. OK, Universal might be the ultimate FUD breaker.
