^as we discussed big title releases on HD, i think it is related to how many players there are on the market. the more players, the more likely big titles will be released.

when do you think HD (either format or both) will reach enough consumers for studio to take the plunge on big titles being released?

imho, i think it will be 2010 or 2011. DVD came out in '97/'98, correct? took about 3 years before mass adoption of the format around year 2000. HD will take much longer because of existing SD-DVD, which is competing against HD media.
