Yet another stupid format to add in the format war. I thought we were done having Blu-ray being the chosen format. With all the studios having exclusive contracts/agreements to either Blu-Ray or HD-DVD I don't know how this company can have any chances of selling in the States without having any content. This product may work well if its owners travel a lot or don't mind importing the movies. We shall see.
USA is not a main target... There's huge markets (South America, Asia, Middle East, China) where even DVD is considered expensive and they're still using CD-Video!!!
They just can't afford the massive production and licensing costs of Blu-Ray. China is developing it's own HD disc to avoid MPEG2 royalties (CH-DVD).
