True, but I suspect the Star Trek issue will create a dilemma for Paramount depending upon sales of the 1st season.

Star Trek is the "Tiffany" franchise of the Paramount network; I'd wager that the Original Series 1st season sold quite well in HD even though it was a significant investment (albeit, well worth it, IMO); I'm pretty sure that we weren't the only folks who bought that 1st season, Jack (grin)! So, if Paramount unceremoniously dumps HD and switches to Blu-ray I'm sure that there'll be some apprehension about walking away and ignoring long-time fans who've already invested heavily with the expectation of purchasing seasons 2 & 3 in HD (which I believe Paramount announced just prior to the Warner bombshell)?
It will be interesting to see how this all falls out. :o)

The problem with Star Trek, is that the HD DVD combo is the *only* version of it-there is no DVD version. Since Blu cannot do combos, that causes problems if Paramount goes blue. Perhaps they will put it out on both. It would definitely be a step up for BD.

Nonsense. Maybe I'll get it when it comes out on Blu-ray NT - Jazz Inmate 13:29:18 01/19/08 (2)

    Who knows and who cares. If the HD DVD camp had any sense, they'd fold and start releasing HD DVD only titles on Blu-ray immediately.
