With Sony taking the lead on incurring losses, the remainder of the BD player manufacturers really don't have to. There is little difference in Sony and Toshiba from this perspective.

Just a couple of quick points. Combo's are currently not any more expensive then say Fox or Disney new releases. Combos range from 35 to 40 retail, Fox and Disney new releases range from 35 to 40 dollars. Price wise, it is pretty much a wash. As far as why some of us like Combo's, myself in...

Now I would love to see Warner release THD just to see how BlockBuster would respond. This could be interesting.:D ;) :) More likely they are having technical issues, maybe waiting until they can release t dual layer BD/dual layer HD disk.

:laugh: Never though of that.

Maybe we should wait to for Warner to release the reason(s) it was delayed before conjecturing. Then again, maybe we should conjecture away.:)

And if Fox and Disney had decided that they would support HD-DVD only, the war would be over and BD would be put to bed. Silly argument, isn't it. Warner, IMHO, saved BD from an early demise with the terrible support BD's exclusive studios gave it for the first three months.

Warner has stated at CES that they will show no preference. What they have done before is not at issue as they were originally an exclusive HD-DVD studio. I guess we would all be happier if Warner never decided to release in BD at all.

As it should be. Warner has made it quite clear that they do not want to show any preference to either format. I am in agreement with them on that point. I feel it is a problem that they have released HD-DVD with DolbyHD, but not included it on their BD releases.

Again, this has not proven out in 3/4 year of releases. This is a none issue that has proven to be a red herring.

This argument has been played to death, and is factually inacurate. Universal doesn't use TrueHD as a decision. With the exception of maybe 'King Kong', and that is a big maybe, capacity has not been a issue with either format. I would like someone to point out one HD-DVD disk that had PQ...

Joe, I agree with what you are saying. I was pointing out that competion is not necessarily bad. In fact IMHO it is HD's presence that has pushed Sony into correcting their early quality issues. It will also help drive down the cost of hardware. I am all for it.

Ending the format war does not mean the demise of either system. Both HD and BD may survive very well together, in which case Warner is making a very smart, cost effective move. This is no different than the XM vrs. Sirius or DirecTv vrs. Dish competition. The competition drives each other to...

Seems Warner is not just talking about this, but has made a complete commitment to the THD disks.

Kind of what I figured. Thanks for the update.

I would be will to bet this will be released as a split set much like the original SD extended edition was. Either way, this is the first hinted release that really gets me excited.:)

First look at the packing. Total HD
