New Movie Releases in Hi-Rez Only??

Something really obscure, maybe. I can't imagine a single movie that would get people to invest in one format, just to see that movie, especially since nobody(to sspeak of) has 1080p display device.

Oh, like people who do have 1080p are not gonna buy Blu-ray and/or HD-DVD play-back devices....?

Ask for specific examples to verify, I doubt this is true.

its not true. both new DVD formats are floundering. high resolution may make the evening news look better, but its no guarantee that it will improve the way a film looks(or sounds). in some cases it actually hurts. there are also no basic standards for dts surround.

Fatparrot,

I hope soon movies stop being released in SD DVD at all. I'd gladly keep my older ones, and replace some with the newer formats (Oh wait, I already have done this!) but until the general public accept a format, no one will win. FWIW the buzz of HD is rampant and friends of mine who are simple TV watchers are already buying Blu-ray players ON THEIR OWN with no encouragement from me!

Soon hopefully one (Blu-ray for my money) will succeed and we will all laugh about this further down the road (until 1440p comes out.......)
