IFA 2007: Liveblogging the Bluray Conference haylui Aug 31st, 07, 07:56 AM #1

Well, Bluray have got their first, by ensuring their press conference is the day before HD-DVDs, and therefore they're first to declare that they are winning the format war. But don't worry, no doubt you'll hear something to the contrary tomorrow.

This conference is a chance for spokespeople from the major studios involved to have their say about the format, as well as some other industry figures. First up: David Walstra from Sony Home Entertainment.

He's got some impressive figures. Apparently, in 2011 it's expected that whilst 60% of homes will have an HD- ready TV, only 20% will receive HD broadcasts. So, in order for that missing 40% to take advantage, they're going to have to invest in some discs. But which ones?
