At current count, we have at least 4 major threads (at least, that I'm subscribed to) regarding HD-DVD and Blu-Ray:

It's Official: HD-DVD Is HDMI Only: NEW UPDATE 7/23 POST 653
HD-DVD/Blu-Ray Merger Possible?
HD-DVD Titles Announced for 4th Qtr Release-
A few words about....Blu-Ray

All of these threads may have started as dealing with one format or the other, and either hardware/tech or software/studio support, but by this point they all seem to mirror each other. Indeed, myself and others have posted an announcement or interview to multiple threads just to bring them all up to speed. It's become almost impossible to separate discussion on one format from the other at this point because, after all, it is a format war.

So, I'd like to start a discussion on merging it all into one or two mega-threads. Obviously, it's all up to the moderators, but I'm hoping that we can find some way to simplify the discussions so that we're not repeating ourselves in several places. Any suggestions? Questions? Possible thread title(s)?
