Yea, but I'm not convinced these formats wont be stillborn. I doubt the masses will care, even if they know about the new formats. Most think DVDs are hi-def. DVDs are still high profit, so we'll see if they drop their cash cow. Yea, they could go the hybrid route, but then, they could have done that with SACDs too.
While it would be nice to have some 720 or 1080 duscs, and I have a TV that would show them well, I'm going to wait untill things get sorted out before I jump in.
we'll see.

It won't be stillborn, but acceptance will depend on how it's presented. I believe the average consumer will appreciate the difference in video quality when HD is compared to DVD. However, it needs to be done correctly (ie; let a videophile do the company's marketing while the marketing department cleans the toilets).I think High Resolution audio hit a brick wall because it was marketed poorly, the average person doesn't appreciate it, doesn't want to spend money on quality audio and, the biggest reason, they prefer the portability feature of MP3 audio/players. Besides, they get a lot of it for free. The sense of vision translates better to them than the sense of sound. And their reasoning: why spend $20 on an SACD or DVD-A (which includes so much non-Pop music) when you can get a DVD for $14.99 at Wal-Mart?
