Well the studios HAVE to dream or the movies wouldn't be worth watching.

We'll see if Universal can make good on the promise, or if we're going to get another useless feature like community viewing.

@JimC
The vast majority of humans on the planet do not physically possess the visual acuity to differentiate 720p from 1080p on screens below 50". So TT's observation about joe six pack not being able to tell the difference between upconverted SD and Blu (or hd dvd for that matter) isn't some delusion.

Now that said, I don't think that upscaling will prevent adoption of Blu, but the real cost of upgrading to an HD setup combined with a tanking economy might.
