Universal and Paramount have not announced any Blu-Ray titles either, HD-DVD will still be here next year I guarantee it. The market is still miniscule, DVD will dominate for the time being. My advice to anybody is stop sitting on the fence and buy into High Definition DVD be it either Blue, Red or both! Personally my viewing is swayed to about 70% High Definition DVD's a week (about 3). Being able to rent High Definition DVD's so early on in the products life cyle is a big plus over what happened with DVD when that first came out.
