Jul 5th 2007 10:29AM "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"

Disney's Name To Appear Over Unrated Film
Only days after renaming its home video division to Disney Home Entertainment, the Walt Disney Co. announced Tuesday that it intends to release Badder Santa: The Unrated Version on November 20 in HD DVD and Blu-ray. In the past, Disney has gone to great lengths to make sure that the Disney name did not appear above any releases that did not reflect the wholesome, family-oriented viewpoint of the company's founder. However, the 2003 Billy Bob Thornton movie inarguably contains the raunchiest language ever delivered in a Christmas movie, and the "unrated" version includes deleted scenes that magnifies the scatological nature of the film. The film, released in high-definition formats at Christmas time may also confuse parents who see the names "Disney" and "Santa" on the cover of the packaging, along with the name of the film's co-star, the late John Ritter.
