Paramount will release it.

No worries there, they seem to now be BD leaning. Having walked away from the VC-1 koolaid table and using AVC on both formats, and are now providing proper lossless audio (although not on all HD DVD - e.g. Blades of Glory)

If not BD leaning, at least BD enthusiast mentality (AVC + lossless).

Which are the 2 most important items for me when buying movies. (MPEG2 and VC-1 are also ok, so long as high bit rates are used).

Absolutely. Nothing wrong with either, given sufficient bandwidth. But, I think we all can agree that the best results we are seeing right now are coming from AVC.

All that's left for Toshiba to do is to offer their 3rd generation entry level player right around the upcoming holiday season for $199.99 with 10 free HD DVD's. That's basically giving their hardware away.

Paramount who owns Showtime is neutral, at least for the moment so it would come to both

Boy, you are one big idiot my friend.

I guess recent events answer the OP.
