Well personally I could care less if retail movies come to HD VMD. I am really interested in whether they can play downloaded HD content (things like .mkv h/x 264 stuff) and everything my current SD DVD player can (Divx, Xvid, mpeg, jpeg etc etc).
If they can they it might be worth picking one up.
What a joke, Toshiba and Sony are fighting a battle over a market that commands 1% of disc sales. The last thing that is needed is another betamax product to further add confusion and division to the marketplace. As they are almost HD DVD anyway, why the hell didn't they just join forces with Tosh and maybe lend some weight to the current debacle, this is just stupidity of the highest order.
