Whatever format [HD-DVD?] the porn industry goes with will be the winner. And I am serious about this!
Go check out the latest news on the format war on engadgethd.com Seems blu-ray is already fighting back.
This is great news.... but I think this will just polarize the playing field and make people wait to buy (seeing who will win) and in the end STUPID dual players will come down in price.

It's cheaper to make HD-DVD's and the equipment is more available.. hence the porn industry changing (Couple of producers that Sony won't let use their pressing facilities) their backing from Blueray to HD-DVD...

Fox and MGM have been BD exclusive for a long time but have released very little. With Fox I'd wait it until movies are actually out as they have made these announcements in the past and never met their release list.
This is all sort of like , opening chess moves of sorts. I still see HD-DVD making good moves while the Blu Ray side just spends a lot of money. I also still prefer HD-DVD hardware strongly. It just makes more sense. AS far as more shockers, when Walmart opens the Christmas season with 150 dollar HD-DVD players the whole thing is gonna move in one giant direction, as folks grab their HD-DVD players and movies as well- BlURay players are too expensive right now.
