    Blu-ray format HD DVD format
    • 20th Century Fox
    • Walt Disney
    • Lionsgate
    • Warner Bros
    • Sony
          - MGM/UA
          - Columbia TriStar
    • New Line & Fine Line
    		 
    • Paramount
    • NBC Universal

    So the future is tilting more and more toward Sony's Blu-ray format, it seems. Honestly, though, will anyone be buying movies on discs by the time this is all settled?
