High Definition Dvd?


I have not heard and news at all lately about Blu Ray or HD DVD players...Just wondering whats the latest word on the blue laser High Definition DVD players?
Are they still going to be released in the US?
If so, when?
Will they still play conventional DVD's and possibly SACD and DVD Audio discs?
Thanks.

I think the Best Buy guy is confused about upsampling DVD players and the real thing. There are no Hi-Def players available in the US yet. The PlayStation will probably be the first.
I checked out the Neodigits player and it is not a real HiDef player. It is an upsampling machine although it looks interesting.
Sony's version will not fail as it has the most support in the industry and is the best version. HD DVD has only one or two manufacturers with them. While all of the others including Pioneer, Denon, Marantz, Mitsubishi, Phillips and virtually everyone else is with Sony. Toshiba and NEC support HD DVD. Oh! and Microsoft.
