CEDIA Predictions: Red

Since CEDIA 2007 is tomorrow, I've decided to post a few of my predictions for surprises tomorrow. It's an exciting day and there's already a ton of buzz around the rumors circulating around the internet. Here's what I believe will happen tomorrow:

Cheap Chinese Players: These Chinese players are presumed to be one of ultimate blows to the opposing side. Although in the past year these players have been believed to be HD DVD players, it has only been recently that notions of these being Blu ray players were brought up.
Likelihood: Somewhat likely

Warner Remains Neutral: Even though we've heard countless tales of Warner shying towards the HD DVD side, it will probably remain a neutral company. Warner is a money whore, and they know that being format neutral is a boatload of money for them. In addition, Warner has just announced some new HD DVD/Blu Ray titles for release later in the year.
Likelihood: Definite

Disney Goes Neutral: Disney has been a forerunner in the support of Blu Ray, so it's a surprise to hear all these beliefs that Disney may go neutral. But it's in the air, and you can't rule it out.
Likelihood: Not so likely

Lionsgate and Weinstein Go Neutral: The rumors say so, but will it happen? While I do believe Weinstein will go neutral, Lionsgate is a toss-up.
Likelihood: Probably

Serenity Appearing on Blu Ray: Never will this happen. Sorry Siyu.
Likelihood: In Siyu's dreams.
