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.

Part of the proplem with releasing High-Def DVD is the cost. The chips that the players need are still on the expensive side, so the industry is looking at a high-end videophile product for now. The companies developing it want mass production to Joe and Jane Public.

Also, who is going to produce the DVD's to a small market of videophiles?

I also doubt the public is ready. People are only starting to buy High-Def televisions on mass. They need to be commonplace before you try to market a better DVD.
