“Where 7 out of 8 Hollywood studios support Blu-Ray.”
Either those 7 studios that support blu-ray release crappy movies or that information is incorrect. The #10 hd dvd movie outsell the #1 blu-ray movie 5:1 on amazon.com (Toshiba hd dvd players outsell Samsung blu-ray players 5:1 all).
The only players that’s out are from Toshiba and Samsung, the others you mentioned are still vaporware, PS3 included.
The power is actually held by consumers not Hollywood studios. Not sure if you know this but more and more studios are adding their support for hd dvd (supporting both formats) as time passes. The exclusivity armor of blu-ray is being eroded as more consumers tell studios what they want using what matters to them… their money.

10 months after the PS3 launch is a bit optimistic for the end of this format war. PS3’s probably won’t be available in sufficient quantities till then.
