At the JavaOne conference, Yasushi Nishimura, Director of IDCR Engineering, Panasonic USA announced 20th Century Fox will be supporting Blu-ray with motion picture content....here is a slide from the show:

As you might know, Fox was on the BRD forum but didn't commit to Blu-ray movies.....till now

Did Sony originate the BR format, or are they just supporting it like no other?

They're a leading partner in the association that developed it.

Any word on when actual movies will be made available in the US/Europe?

 

[Kleegamefan]

No

 

[Phoenix]

They'll all support it soon enough.

Wow, shocking.

I'm avoiding Blu Ray and HD-DVD like the plague until there is a clear winner.

No but there is an indication that single layer BRD may be pushed up to 30 or 35GB to gain cost efficiencies and manufacturing ease over dual layer 50GB BRD (naturally dual layer would eventually be pushed to 60 or 70GB)
