That's strange, I'd swear that the last time I looked there were more HD DVD panelists. Where did they go?

Mulder!

Well, it's entirely possible that there will be more or different panelists. My guess, is that they published this pretty far in advance and they may not have had all of the names yet. I guess I wouldn't be surprised if it changes a bit.

I hope andy brings up the fact that anything HD-DVD can do, Blu-ray can do, but better. 50>30. And that fanatics are doing more harm then good. Will there be a video or transcript of the event? KICK HIS ASS, SEABASS (or in this case, Andy Parsons!)

I'm sure it'll go down to same "We dont' need extra capacity, we dont' need extra bandwidth" thing, since for today they can't really claim HD DVD is cheaper. Though most likely there will be lots of FUD and misinformation as well.
