Knox also added that more twin format HD DVDs could be in the works. Unlike the HD DVD combo discs, which have a high-def film on one side and a standarddefinition DVD on the other, the twin format can hold two 30GB of HD DVD and 4.7GB of standard definition on one side of a disc. Only Bandai Visual’s Freedom 1 anime HD DVD, released quietly in June, has taken advantage of that technology. Other news out of the DVD Forum event: I Paramount, which went HD DVD exclusive in August, has only four HD DVDs planned for the rest of the year. But the studio will make a bigger HD DVD splash in 2008, according to a Paramount representative. Roughly 30 titles from Paramount and DreamWorks are already planned for 2008. I Dan Silverberg, VP of high-def marketing for Warner Home Video, said it’s possible high-def set-top boxes could reach 1.2 million households by the end of the year. www.homemediamagazine.com 25,035 0 25,730 0 107 0 25,142 146 0 25,876 356 0 0 986 1,342 26,484 17 26,501 94.93% 238 0 0 102 340 26,216 17 26,233 98.70% “That’s a lot,” he admitted. “But it’s possible.” That number was disputed by Paul Erickson, senior HD analyst for NPD DisplaySearch. He estimated fewer than than 1 million high-def standalone players would be in homes by the end of the year, but that consumer adoption would pick up in 2008. “We know the consumers are buying next-generation [optical discs], just not at the level we may have expected,” he said. “We feel that the format war is going to be somewhat extensive.” Ken Graffeo, EVP of Universal Studios Home Entertainment and co-president of the HD DVD Promotional Group, said consumer comfort with DVD is getting in the way of high-def. “Our real challenge isn’t really against Blu-ray,” he said. “It’s against consumer satisfaction with DVD.” I Warner’s Silverberg also touted that Warner Bros., as the last major studio releasing titles on both Blu-ray and HD DVD, owns the largest high-def software market share (36%) and claims the most high-def units sold for a single title (400,000 copies of 300). I Carl Pinto, VP of product development and product management for Toshiba, shared company estimates that show 5 million notebook PCs will be equipped with HD DVD technology in 2008. He emphasized that most of those notebooks will be easy to connect to a TV. 16. Publication required: Will be printed in the October 14, 2007 issue of this publication 17.

Like its European counterpart, this PS3 will not offer backward compatibility with PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games. Other differences in the new hardware include just two USB ports (instead of four), and no multimemory card port. One addition to the new hardware may be the Blu-ray Disc version of Spider-Man 3 (which streets Oct. 30), according to online reports. “I think you could see a hardware spike if Sony really does bundle Blu-ray movies inside the box,” said Michael Pachter, video game analyst for Wedbush Morgan Securities. John Taylor, video game analyst with Arcadia Research, said: “That 40GB PS3 is likely to help Sony achieve estimates that are out there (a unit potential in the range of 3 million to 3.5 million for calendar year 2007 in the United States), but I don’t think it will bring upside. The library is still waiting for driver titles. “Moreover, there is concern at retail that split releas http://www.homemediamagazine.com http://www.homemediamagazine.com
