CBHD isn't a format for "the West", it's a format for Asia, import shops are simply making it available [unofficially] for those who want to see what the format is about or want a alternative to what ever format they currently use.

The player price is a bit high but it is a import after all. For Hollywood films and some foreign films Blu Ray should do the trick but if you are into Asian cinema as well CBHD will have the advantage.

1. The 14 films are included with the player by default, even in China, those are real discs and not counterfeit if that was your question.

2. Warner Brothers, Universal Studios, and National Geographic are the only Hollywood studios supporting the format, previously it was just Warner but after the apparent success of the format Universal and National Geographic joined. If the success continues I'm sure more Hollywood studios will join as well. Seeing it in "China Towns" would be cool from a technological and business standpoint but to replace HD DVD and compete with Blu Ray again in the West on a large scale seems unlikely.

3. I don't see why there couldn't be one, although it might be Asia exclusive.

Keep in mind, this player is from China but only being sold through a import shop.
