Really? I doubt it, as the studios have now put the 'dual HD format war' behind them, and have rallied around ONE format - Blu-ray. Makes no sense to have another player introduced (here in the USA/North America, etc). And do you think that the studios are going to support it with releases? Again, I doubt this, and think you are 'wanting' this to happen, rather than a press release you've 'read' - and unless you have a link to more pertinent info, I think this is just wishful thinking on your part. Warner even dropped their 'TotalHD' dual-format disc for LACK of studio and retail support.
And the main reason Warner and others are moving to ONE disc standard, is to stimulate adoption from fence sitters - to GROW the format into the masses hands. Well, this won't ever happen if MORE THAN ONE hi-def disc format is available! The studios don't want more -disc- competition, the game is over, decided, and BLU-RAY is the winner.
However, the studioes WILL support streaming/downloads, since it's another profit stream, and they can avoid disc replication/production costs.

No, I found a couple of articles the other day stating there would be the Venturer version hittting the North American market. Not the HD DVD, but the CH DVD. The article was dated the 19th of feb. Crap, I don't have time to look now, but I will post it...
