how bout blu-ray?

At the moment there is no chance that a Sony film will appear on HD-DVD. That may change if Blu Ray is a disaster (it isn't doing too well atm) and the same applies to HD-DVD and Warner/Paramount films.

I am hoping that a dual format recorder comes out and both HD formats are a success. Then I just get the film on whatever DVD format it comes out on. However, two companies that promised dual format recorder have now changed their minds.

Hopefully it will change in the future.

I would imagine the licensing on a dual format drive would be ridiculous, let alone the cost of the components themselves.

That depends on where the player comes from. I wouldn't be surprised if cheaper chinese built players appear like they did with DVD. I don't se it hapenning anytime soon anyway.
