Seems like they would do best to support both formats with different packages until one becomes the clear winner.

NO COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUTS!!!  That is the most rediculous thing I've ever heard!  Everyone knows that the large majority of HDTV's currently in peoples homes do not have HDMI.  Do you think all those people are going to go out and buy brand new HDTV's with HDMI, or do you think they'll choose the competitor (blu-ray) which is compatible with their HDTV?  Dumb...dumb...dumb...the decisions people make for DRM...<br>If Sony decides they're also going to go down the HDMI ONLY path, then I'd have to say that both might fail to take off.  If they did succeed with HDMI ONLY interfaces then the adoption rate is going to be very slow and millions of people are really going to be pissed off at the technology.<br><br>HD DVD IS DOOMED!!!<br><br>More info here:<br>http://hdtv.engadget.com/entry/1234000403050209/]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 17th 2005 6:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Netflix declares Blu-Ray the winner]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2005/11/17/netflix-declares-blu-ray-the-winner/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2005/11/17/netflix-declares-blu-ray-the-winner/</guid><description><![CDATA[So HD-DVD  = Bad because no component/analog out better than 480p.<br><em>and</em><br>Blu-Ray = Bad because it's Sony who cannot be trusted (rootkit).<br><br>How long will it take for APEX to make DRM-free hardware for either/both standards like what happened with DVDs/Macrovision/Region Coding?<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[crosius]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 17th 2005 6:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Netflix declares Blu-Ray the winner]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2005/11/17/netflix-declares-blu-ray-the-winner/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2005/11/17/netflix-declares-blu-ray-the-winner/</guid><description><![CDATA[I hope Sony gets the pants sued off of them for their rootkit hack. I'm surprised I haven't heard of a class action lawsuit against sony inviting everyone with a sony labeled CD to join in.  Hello lawyers out there....lets get this going!!!  I'd go buy a Sony CD just to be part of the lawsuit.  Not that I want anything from the lawsuit...I just want Sony to pay for doing something so dishonest and hopefully learn a lesson from it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 17th 2005 6:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Netflix declares Blu-Ray the winner]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2005/11/17/netflix-declares-blu-ray-the-winner/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2005/11/17/netflix-declares-blu-ray-the-winner/</guid><description><![CDATA[Maybe this will be my last post...haha<br><br>Another reason why blu-ray has an advantage is the Playstation 3 due out next year.  It will be a blu-ray hd player as well as a phenominal game machine priced around $400.  I'm guessing the 1st gen HD DVD players will cost about $300.  <br><br>Why should I buy an HD DVD player if I can spend the same or slightly more money for a blu-ray playstation 3??  My plan is to buy a PS3 when they come out and kill two birds with one stone.  HD DVD obviously isn't on my radar any longer.  Too bad HD DVD (Toshiba) wasn't smart enough to get the Xbox360 in its corner, maybe it would have had a chance...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 17th 2005 6:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Netflix declares Blu-Ray the winner]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2005/11/17/netflix-declares-blu-ray-the-winner/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2005/11/17/netflix-declares-blu-ray-the-winner/</guid><description><![CDATA[I wouldn't get too excited about either format yet. Too many people are happy with standard DVD to make the switch to something new, again (after just giving up VCR tapes). Even with my Canon SX50 projector blowing up an image to 10 feet from left to right, standard DVDs still look beautiful, (though I'll still buy a select choice of HDs in time). Even now you see so many pores, zits, moles, wrinkles, film graininess,, ect. on standard DVDs, both HD formats will bring all that out even more. It's not just the format (DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-Ray) but more importantly the devices playing-displaying the video that really makes the extreme difference from one HD-TV to another. Just step into a Curcuit City and see what I mean. HD discs wll be a select market exactly as Laserdiscs was 20 or so years ago!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ray Morris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 19th 2005 5:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Netflix declares Blu-Ray the winner]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2005/11/17/netflix-declares-blu-ray-the-winner/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2005/11/17/netflix-declares-blu-ray-the-winner/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think it's a bad decision in the event HD DVD takes off.
