gizmodo.com — Now that Paramount and Dreamworks Animation have just announced to exclusively support the HD DVD format, we thought it was time to revisit the current status of studio support for both Blu-ray and HD DVD. At last check, Blu-ray had all but a few studios locked down in their camp, with HD DVD trailing far behind. Has it changed?

Is that 150 dollar comment based on my comment above? Just curious because to me personally a combo player is worth no more then 150. I think I would feel ripped off at 200, but 150 just seemed like a fair figure to me...

I haven't purchased any yet either. I might as well wait until they bring out a VR headset or holodeck.

I'm not buying one, until the war is decided. A lot of it is principle, this is yet another example of how studios don't care about the consumer. They should make movies for both platforms. Let Sony and Toshiba fight it out on price and features. The one that is going to win, is the first one with afordable recordable Discs, and whose RW drives start appearing on PCs first .

This is probably going to go on for a few more years, and then a really clever hardware developer will come up with a blu-ray/HD-DVD reader/writer in the one unit and then it wont really matter. Plus streaming video seems to be the way to go. I can see media companies selling 'pre-paid' style accounts that give you a months worth of viewing or something like that.

Nope, the CD was a joint project between Sony and Phillips.
