>>>Yes, the US did have the head start but only for HD DVD because it seems that Toshiba and the HD DVD side decided not to care about anyone else.<<<
That's not quite right. I don't know how competative they are down under though. Japan is BD mostly because of recorders, they aren't buying movies. Europe is still up for grabs and is still compettive-especially since Europeans can get movies from the US, thanks to no region coding. China will supposedly be going HD DVD using their own codec, and manufacturing their own players (only a different chip than what the west uses). .
Its still way too early to jump to any conclusions, despite the FUD spreaders. Time will tell what really happens.
enjoy,
