    Anybody who hasn't heard of Onkyo doesn't know sh*t about home theater and should just stay away from both BR and HD DVD period. Might as well stick with your Labtecs and call it a day. :lol: :wink:

    I know what they are. I don't see them as a "big brand name CE" (I highlighted that part for a reason).

    NEC, Sanyo are primarily white goods companies as far as the consumer goods are concerned. RCA and Kenwood are regarded as low quality goods companies, and Kenwood also does a lot of white goods.

    LG, Hitachi, and Samsung are actually Bluray association members supporting Bluray, and Kenwood and Lite On are contributors to the Bluray association, and Onkyo is a member of the Bluray association. Only NEC and Sanyo have a higher prominence on the HD-DVD board than the Bluray board.

    There was a similar situation with regard to Sony Betamax support - a few manufacturers with a lower prominence supported it.

    HD DVD exclusive: Toshiba, NEC, Sanyo, RCA, Kenwood
    HD DVD non exclusive: Hitachi, LG, Lite On, Onkyo, Samsung

    Onkyo DV-HD805 (HD DVD):

    http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/onkyos-new-hd-dvd-player-the-dv-hd805/

    Hitachi, LG, Lite On, and Samsung support both HD DVD and Blu Ray.

    http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sanyos-hd-s100-hd-dvd-player/

    Sanyo hasn't released its players.

    NEC has PC HD DVD drives (HR-1100A). Also, didn't NEC co-develop HD DVD with Toshiba...

    Samsung BD-UP5000 (HD DVD and Blu Ray):

    http://www.samsung.com/PressCenter/PressRelease/PressRelease.asp?seq=20070413_0000338109

    LG BH100 and GGW-H10N (HD DVD and Blu Ray):

    http://www.lge.com/about/press_release/detail/PRO|NEWS^PRE|MENU^RND|MENU_20318_PRE|MENU.jhtml

    Hitachi GGW-H20N (HD DVD and Blu Ray):

    http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/hitachi-showcases-internal-ggw-h20n-blu-ray-burner-hd-dvd-read/

    Lite On HDP-Z1 (HD DVD):

    I believe Meridian is also releasing a HD DVD player. I hope Denon does as well.

    In the other thread about Blockbuster it seems that quoted the same 70% number as the original article here. I guess it was not just a fluke.
