Sony is the main company behind Blu Ray, and most likely won't do anything to help the competition by releasing their biggest film (to date) of the Blu-Ray "era" on its rival format. If HD DVD ultimately becomes the format of choice, then Casino Royale might see a re-release on that format, but until then, I doubt it.  |

Companies are already advertising dual HD DVD/Blu-Ray players.
Forget where I recently saw an ad for one, but it wasn't a Sony.  EDIT: JUst remembered - it was on a segment on my local news about some big gadget show in Seattle (I think).

I believe that there was a story on Comingsoon.net regarding LG's announcement of a dual-format player coming out sometime during the first quarter of this year. |

Casino Royale will never be on HD-DVD. There's a better chance for hell to freeze over before CR ever coming to HD-DVD
With that said, Casino Royale release coincides with Playstation 3 release in Europe. Playstation 3 is a less expensive and yet high quality blu-ray player. |

At the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas LG did indeed announce a dual player. Right now Blu-Ray appears to be more popular with 6 out of 7 major studios supporting that format. But HD is less expensive and has, to my flawed knowledge, fewer tech glitches than Blu-Ray. for instance there are problems getting Blu-Ray disks to play on all Blu-Ray players. Plus HD looks as good as Blu_Ray if you ask me. I think it will be a year or so before the format wars are resolved.
You like wild things don't you, Mr. Bond, James Bond?

bah, either way I just want this whole stupid format war to blow off. They're cutting DVD's lifespan too early if you ask me. I for one don't feel like having to upgrade all my films simply to HD versions of them. If they would have given it several more years than maybe yeah, I would consider, but not at this moment. DVD came at the right time to replace VHS, and I just think that it's too early for Blu-Ray and HD-DVD.

What about standard DVD format? Surely CR isn't just available on Blue Ray? Please excuse my ignorance. I don't have a DVD player that plays Blue Ray.
