@Zed - Sorry to disappoint, but the native res on HD-DVD is also 1080p.
To those who say porn doesn't matter -- it had $4.3 BILLION in sales and rentals of movies. If I recall, that's more than any studio (or maybe all studios combined?) It will have an impact.
Also, do you really think companies like Onkyo and Meridian are stupid and just want to throw money away on HD-DVD players that won't be worth anything in a few months? I didn't see ANY new support for BD at CES - no new studios (HD-DVD got a few), no new CE manfuacturers (HD-DVD got a few). All they did was announce titles. That's it.

Ya now. But if you bought a HD/DVD player you will have to get a new one to view it at that res. which is what BD has always been.

An impact yes, but they will wait untill the war is over. The fact that you can get it HD on the net already points to this. And all studios combined, seriusly man look intto that, but your right about that porn indistry being 4.5 billion in total. But seriously nice try.

That's becasue as I stated before there needs to be new ones to support 1080p, which BD were right off the start, which means that they don't need to flood the market right now because all the players are good. Your right about Onkyo and Meridian not being stupid though why would they wast there money on an HD/DVD drive when HD/DVD will be obsolete soon. Those were your words. Also Universal is the only remaing HD/DVD exclusive company and they have no 2007 realease slated. And like you said all they were talking about were BD realeases at CES. So I'm not sure whose bubble your bursting but it's not mine friend.
