Sony still features Paramount trailers, like the new one for Ironman, on the PS Store... why would they do this after Paramount announced HDDVD exclusivity? i think they must have some other deal worked out... VoD anyone?

yup, batman begins is also on my must have list.

Maybe they would like to gte back to non-exclusive state ? That would be logical :P

 Well some trailers and movies that would only be on blu-ray are on XBLM. So that is likely what PSN is doing.

You might be right.  Btw, I'm going to use this post to shamelessly promote the BD's success.  Here is some recent news:

1.  Sony has just made its 10 millionth Blu-ray movie:

2.  Sony winning Europe 4:1

3.  Hastings Entertainment (a video/music/books store) is going to increase its Blu-ray rental holdings

To what extent have you seen Sony act like an organized (unified) company that is working towards a small set of goals? Personally, all I see is a company moving in a dozen opposing objectives with little communication between units.

Thanks for the links dallas. This was surprising for me:

"The BD-25 now has a consistent yield rate of around 85%, while the more difficult to produce BD-50 are consistently between 75% and 79%."

I never thought that yield rates were so low for producing discs! Has anyone seen yield rates for HD-DVD?

The yield rates were supposedly about 50% for the regular BD discs just a matter of months ago, so things have gotten better. From what i've heard, the HD-DVD yield rates are a little better, because HD-DVD is less complicated and therefore simpler to make and has been around a little longer.  Either way, expect the yield rates for HD-DVD to improve some and for the yield rates on the Blu-ray to improve a little more  because they aren't doing as good in this respect.

Blu-Ray is really doing awesome right now. I made a topic about it outselling HD DVD in 4:1 in the UK yesterday, in which I also included many other intersting tidbits of imformation, like the fact that Blu-Ray has over 90% marketshare in Japan, and it's been like this for well over a year. Blu-Ray actually came out in Japan before HD DVD (in floppy disc form, though).

Blu-Ray currently has 90% marketshare in Japan, 65% marketshare in NA, and 75% marketshare in the UK. Things aren't looking so good for HD DVD.

For all those who missed my Blu-Ray topic in the OT forum, here it is.
