It's very interesting, although I don't think it will affect the outcome here one way or another... it's just not going to be convenient or cost-effective enough for the vast majority of consumers...

As HD DVD is dying out overseas, I doubt this will be a source of Blu-ray discs for too much longer.

Something WSJ didn't mention is that sometimes HD-DVDs are available in Europe for films currently in theaters in the US. I picked up both "Becoming Jane" and "Mr Bean's Holiday" on Amazon.co.uk for around $40 each including shipping. Cheaper than going to the movies with the family!

Mr. Beans Holiday? Need I say more?

This data is cool to know in terms of purchasing titles on either format abroad before they are released in the states. Hollywood makes no sense sometimes.
