let's not fight, just admit, HD DVD entry price is $499US & BD entry level price will be $499US

I think your finger slipped on the BD entry price of $999.

If you are going to drop the price of the BD player over time in your apples-to-oranges comparison, you have to apply the same logic to HD-DVD--and by that logic, it's price will have dropped by a large factor, as well.

Warner's Ultra-resolution process is phenomenal. For anyone not familiar with it, they take the original b&w Technicolor separation negatives, and combine them electronically, rather than optically or by using the old dye imbibition process. No actual print of the film is used. The results are astounding. The SD version of "Singin' In The Rain" is almost literally jaw-dropping. I can hardly wait to see what the HD version will be like!

While I can't vouch for the validity of the information, I saw a post over at DVD Talk that indicates Warner Bros. will be releasing two HD-DVD titles on May 23rd:

Blazing Saddles
The Fugitive
