Blu Ray over/under $

Jaybo...none of these studios are doing hd dvd
MGM
Miramax
Columbia Tri Star
Buena Vista
Pixar
Disney
Lions Gate
Fox
Sony Pictures
With only Universal holding out on Blu Ray, and that highly expected to change soon.
All other studios have dual support which gives Blu Ray over 90% support, and HD dvd less than 40%

Blu Ray is beginning to look real. That Pioneer Elite looks to be a nicely designed unit that I would be happy to have in my rack. Think I'll hold off on buying a 60" Sony SXRD until they add a 1080p input.

Thanks for the photos, Ears.

Your welcome db, and I agree that the Pioneer Elite looks sweet.
There is a spec pdf for that one on the Pioneer site.
Multi channel 192/24 BB dacs, 1080p ect.

with regard to the "average consumer"...yes they really do not care for high quality audio playback...or perhaps they have become so for a variety of reasons and certainly put much more value on flexibility, portability, storage and convenience....but the same may not be the case for video quality: if it is readily apparent which most seem to state with regard to HD then the adoption may much faster than e think and at least have much larger success than SACD, analogue LP, DVD-A.
