It's the turn on New Line Cinema now.

New Line also moving to Bluray.

Looks like a certain death of HD-DVD.

^^ +1.

Sony is one of the major record labels and movie production companies and they are playing major part in getting bluray into the market.

I don't think there should be 2 formats. I wish one of them die and everyone sticks to one format so that we need not struggle whether to buy HD-DVD/bluray media.

Moreover, dual format drives still cost a bomb and I can buy 2-3 PS3's for that price and they do not provide full set of features.

The thing about reading dual formats, is that they have to use a lot of different equipment within the same device. It isn't like in the case of DVD+R or DVD-R where the difference was minor. That's part of the reason why currently dual format players cost almost or more than double the separate players.

^^ agree with you.

Yes. these dual format drives have two different trays, one for HD-DVD and one for bluray.

If there are any new single tray dual format drives, please please educate me :)
