One of my top 10 favorite movies. I'd really like to see it or Gozu make it to Blu-Ray, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

I liked how you put it, I as many have been new I just got active in blu-ray in march, and got really active this summer as thing started to heat up, I am anticipating the holidays as I expect we will trounce HD-DVD.

The said I think the concern other have isn't that HD-DVD will win, if we look at the Nielsen/VideoScan Weekly Sales Numbers we see that we are consistantly in the mid to late 60's% while is HD-DVD is mid to low 30's%. My concern is that HD-DVD will last long enought for combo player adoption, ensuring the survival of both formats.

On the surface this may not seen like a bad thing bad what if the studio's encode the HD-DVD version and use that on the Blu-ray disc as well, effectively no differance between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray even tho Blu-ray could be put to better use. That's my main concern.

18 months is a long time.. That's all I have to say about that. I think I'd rather enjoy myself rather then be upset or angry at Universal and Paramount for the next 18 months while I know my TV could be playing something I want instead of just settling for something. Maybe some people just don't want to settle anymore.

You just posted a post saying 2 years will pass very soon and everything will be different. make up your mind

And it's that some people want to do the thing that benefits high definition, in the long run

I am sticking with blu-ray. I am not going to switch because of Paramount because I don't want them to think that they made the right decision.
