Yes. I saw this earlier today, and I hope like hell it catches on. The fact that movies and movie studios were becoming exclusive to either HDDVD or Blu-Ray was completely mind-boggling. If I wanted to watch PotC2, or any other Disney movie on HDDVD? Not happening, because they pledged allegiance to Blu-Ray. How about Universal movies? HDDVD only. It's a joke.

Now I'm already biased in this format war, I'm supporting HDDVD for the simple fact that not only is it the better format, but I have an HDDVD player as well. That being said, I'll end up with a PS3 at some point, which would mean I'd have a Blu-Ray player as well, but the fact that I'd have to go out and buy different movies on different disc formats is angering.

I really hope this picks up and gets supported by everyone possible. After all, why segregate your possible audience by making format exclusive movies in the first place? This way, everyone wins.

I really hope this catches on. The whole "war" is just so stupid.
