Default Cedia 2007 Predictions?

There have been two insiders who have went on record and said there is more big news coming for HD DVD at Cedia 2007.

What are your predictions????

I think cheap chinese HD players, and maybe Warner going exclusive.

It's gotta be something to do with players, right? It looks like a hardware expo to me.

Cheap players sound like a good bet... there was also some strange comment from Warner, so you might be right.

I don't think Warner is going exclusive yet.

Chinese players are a possibility.

Interesting, do you have a link or website I can go and read this, not calling you a liar, I just want to read it. I think Paramount knew something big time and are keeping a closed lip on it, maybe cheap players or Warner or something, makes you wonder why they swiitched, and I am sick of hearing the 100 million dollar thing, there is more then meets the eye here, and I meant that as a Transformer thing too, haha.

Honestly, Toshiba is performing the coup de that I knew they would. Paramount wouldnt have switched to exclusivity for $150 million alone.

Thrilla in manilla, bitches. Ali took punch after punch and looked like he was a goner, but he was just biding his time for the massive onslaught against his tired opponent who had nothing left.

Go Mets!

I can't wait for the gloating rights to the next 10 years of HD viewing.

Bonecrusher will still be crying about Paramount in 2017.

I'd consider going format neutral after Warner once I mustered the money. I wouldn't even ditch the Blu Ray player, because Paramount teaches a lesson. You never know, when something happens, and suddenly something does a 180 degree turnaround (not that it's happened yet, but if Warner were to go exclusive to HD-DVD, that would complete the 180 turnaround)

Arent all of our BD and HD DVD players made there, anyway? Along with 99% of everything we buy.
