Like I said, I will hold off making a final judgement but 2 things make me think that it is for Blu-Ray.

1) TDK has supported Blu-Ray from the beginning.

2) The 2 chinese characters in front of HD-DVD when translated means Blu-Ray. Not blue light like someone else on this thread has mentioned.

We'll just have to wait and see now won't we?

TDK's brand name was purchased by Imation on 4/19/2007, Imation is part of the HD-DVD group http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/News/Details.aspx?NewsId=20243

85% of the Bluray forum believes it's about HD-DVD. The freaking Bluray forum!! If i made this poll in the HD-DVD forum at avsforum.com then it would have been over 95% thinking it's about HD-DVD

I just wanted to let you know that by you own link Imation can only produce recording products under TDK's name. And I quote,"Imation will acquire TDK brand recording media business and use of TDK brand name for current and future recording media products including magnetic tape, optical media, flash media and accessories." Which means that Imation, which only makes recording media anyways, can not make anything else under TDK's name. And I quote, "According to the agreement, TDK will retain its R&D, manufacturing and OEM business. The boards of directors of both companies have approved the transaction."

So who cares what anybody says on any forum. As of right now TDK only supports Blu-Ray and until they state otherwise there is no reason to believe that they would make a HD-DVD player.

i just used google and it means "indigo light"

So far the ps3 is one of very few electronic pieces that uses 1.3. Only about 1% of HDTVs on the market right now support it, and Denon arguably the best Surround Sound reciever maker out there, hasn't released there 1.3 compatable reciever to the public yet. The cheapest Denon that will be available has a suggested retail price of $1599. Which is quite expensive.dru26

 No it doesn't.    It says "Blue Light HD-DVD",  they say "Blue Light HD-DVD" because China has EVD "Enhanced Versatile Disk" which uses a red laser (like dvd)

Deng Hungchi also mentioned that Blue HD-DVD for high-volume, high-quality images, high resolution vision, machine Images can be more realistic, more beautiful images. Its advantage is more easily with existing DVD discs maintain compatibility, and may continue to use existing DVD production equipment CDs and facilitate the expansion of the distance between lens and do not need, such as CD-ROM cartridges, substantially reduced from the current transition to HD DVD, the cost for the DVD, makes disc manufacturers switch from DVD to HD DVD when the costs can be reduced to a minimum. Moreover, the HD DVD recording capacity is smaller, but the eye, decontamination capability, and without cartridges, dish Therefore the production process easier and less costly.

Now which format has the smaller capacity?  Which format is cheaper to manufacture?  Which production plant can simply be upgraded from DVD to HD-DVD?

If you look at IGN's article, one of the partners of this agreement is TDK. The only problem here is that TDK is a supporter of Blu-Ray and not HD-DVD.

 http://www.projectorcentral.com/hddvd_bluray.htm

"Current supporters of HD-DVD include Toshiba, NEC, Sanyo, and Microsoft, in addition to New Line Cinema, Paramount, Universal, Time-Warner, and the official approval of the DVD Forum."

"Current support for Blu-Ray includes PC makers Apple, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and Sony, and electronics giants Hitachi, LG, Mitsubishi Electric, **** Pioneer, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, TDK, and Thomson. Add to this the support by movie studios such as Columbia TriStar, Sony Pictures and MGM (all three owned by Sony), 20th Century Fox, Lions Gate Entertainment, and Disney, as well as video game makers Electronic Arts and Vivendi Universal Games, and the bastion of support for Blu-Ray looks formidable indeed."

My god your dense.....Lets put it to you this way,  HD-DVD is trademarked,  it cant be changed in any language.  Just like Bluray is a trademarked, and can't be changed in any language.  Here is one of the original articles,  notice which words have not been changed because of trademarks

Yep...Looks like HD-DVD and Walmart are the only words that did not change...

So I guess all the news sites that printed this story and have since recanted and said it was for Blu-Ray must be wrong and you are the only one that can translate chinese and is the authority on this? Then you are definitely dumber than you led us to believe. Not to mention all the news articles clearly state TDK is the company partnering to produce the players. If you bothered to notice, TDK clearly supports Blu-Ray and not HD-DVD. Stop being a typical fanboy for once. Let's just wait for the official english announcement before passing judgement.

All the news sites?  You've shown me one site saying it's for BD!  And i think it was a blog!  Try VIdeoBusiness.com, IGN, AVSFORUM,  Engadget, and others...

Even the "Bluray Player" forum at avsforum.com is pretty much agreeing  its for HD-DVD.

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=837029&page=4

I date you to sign up at avsforum.com and tell the "HD-DVD Player" forum that the Walmart/China story is about Bluray and hot HD-DVD :lol:

I know you wont....
