not only Europe. I live in two worlds of Blu in different continent. UK (BD is superior in number than HD DVD) and Indonesia (currently only has BD releases legally - no HD DVD)

With studio canal neutral, it will be really good

Could you please point me to the source of this statement...concerning Medusa. I am trying to confirm that they have officially gone "neutral" as a major online site in Italy claims that they remain exclusive to HD.

Giuseppe Tornatore's (the director of Malena) La Sconosciuta is touted as Medusa's first official HDDVD title (yet I am told it would be released on BR as well). Here's the official announcement:

Looking forward to your reply with the release schedule info...

Thanks.
