I thought Sony abandoned Superbit, or at least stopped making new ones, since they weren't selling well. I admit, I do like them.

>>>Standard DVDs using 'Superbit' are actually higher definition than some of the so-called HD-DVDs<<<
Care to explain that?

>>>Make ONE format, that has at least five times better performance, (the same size jump as from VHS to DVD... And then get the standards set first, and the TVs out first... Then I will bite. <<<
I agree on the one format. Both meet your requirements though.
SD: 640 X 480 = 307200 pixels
HD: 1920 X 1080 = 2073600 pixels
That's a 6.75 times increase.
The TVs are out, you just don't own one.
enjoy,
Jack
