Just when you thought that the high def format war might have been over it seems the chinese government has different ideas.
The state sponsered format CBHD (China Blue HD) now has a 3% market share lead over Blu-ray in China, indicating that a brand new format ar might erupt.
Stil its hard to believe that either of the format will ultimatley survive given that I personally think the future lies in HD content on demand, downloaded from the internet.

Despite previous rumours that Microsoft were keen to purchase the license to equip the Xbox360 with a blu-ray player, a Microsoft executive has squashed the rumours saying that:
"Xbox is not currently in talks with Sony or the Blu-ray Association to integrate Blu-ray into the Xbox experience.”
Sony allegedly reported against these claims earlier in the week when Sony CEO, Stan Glasgow announced that Microsoft and Sony were 'in talks' about getting a Blu-ray drive for its Xbox 360 console.

The departure of Warner Bros. from the HD-DVD camp last week left only Paramount/Dreamworks and Universal standing by the format. The Financial Times are reporting that part of Paramount Studio's deal with the HD-DVD camp included a get-out clause. Said clause would be triggered when and if Warner turned coat and signed with Blu-Ray. Oops. Paramount are now "poised" to do just that, leaving the vast majority of studios aligned with team Blu-Ray and HD-DVD dead in the water.The departure of Warner Bros. from the HD-DVD camp last week left only... more
