Cheaper players? Not for long. No region coding? They are discussing adding it. 1000 indies? Who cares. Nobody will buy movies they have never heard off.
How about: Lower capacity, lower bandwidth, no studio support, no CE support.
I keep hearing about the HD-DVD comeback. Patiently waiting for it to happen.
