RE: Well, this thread kicked off with statistics about the entire installed base of game consoles

>>>Yeah, as I said earlier, blockbusters may not be our cup of tea, but they do tend to dictate the direction of the industry. Especially in matters of format.<<<
That must be why they lost money last quartet, and are shutting down some stores.

>>>As for the current implementation of regional encoding, it's a nonissue if it doesn't affect me, you or anyone else.<<<
But is DOES effect me, and it certainly effects Europeans, that's the whole point.
I can inport HD DVDs from Europe that I might not be able to with BD. Europeans (Aussies too) can increase their collections by inporting HD DVDs from the US, that aren't available there.

I'll take your word on the PCM, but I'll leave the high end audio for my stereo. Movie sound is secondary for me. It certainly won't be the biggest selling point for the masses. Do you think they'll tell the difference with their $200 Bose surround sound?
I couldn't care less about 7.1.
