CES Final Thoughts From Digital Bits

[Maximus]

No, he was only objective when he supported HD DVD for that brief 2 week period, otherwise he is a BD fanboy .

I think he is a smart man, if he mentions Spiderman, then chances are it will be released considering the industry contacts that he knows. He also brings up a good point about manufacturers bottom lines, with BD only licensed companies are going to be able to produce players, are the Chinese companies going to get a license, unlikely for a while. With HD DVD Toshiba are going to find themselves competing against volume manufacturing, which as the have so abjectly shown they cannot do (DVD is a good example). While Chinese companies may be good for consumer (pricewise) they will not be good for the format at all as they have no QC, well actually they have no quality in general, and that is what BD and HD DVD are all about, quality picture and sound.
