aaahhh man, that sucks! kinda ruins it for people without a HD-DVD player such as myself, all i got is standard DVD and Blu-ray/PS3.... working on getting a stand-alone BR player soon.
i guess this means theres no chance of a blu-ray set in the near future then?

You will eventually see Heroes on Blu-ray if I had to guess. There is just too much money to be made for them to turn down its eventual Blu-ray release. Not everyone is going to buy both players or one over the over-priced hybrid players to view both types of HD releases.

I have a PS3 to handle my BD needs, and it works well.

Because Blu-Ray sucks?
Seriously though...I have yet to dunk myself in the waters of Hi-Definition. I'm a lover, not a fighter, so this whole Blu-Ray/HD-DVD fracas is really annoying to me. Especially if a particular studio stands behind only one format (Disney/Blu-Ray - Universal/HD-DVD).
Can't we all just get along?
and wouldn't there be more $$$ made if more formats were available?

Heroes will not be on BD anytime soon so don't kid yourself thinking it might. Complaining that it should be on BD is no different than HD DVD people complaining the Pirates of the Caribbean should be on HD DVD. If all the studios were on both formats one format would already be dead, but that is just not the case and will not be anytime soon. Universal has enough movies to out release Disney, Fox, Lionsgate and Buena Vista combined unless those studios dig hard, so just get an HD DVD player since they are quite affordable and enjoy. There is zero reason to get a standalone BD player if you have a PS3. Wait until at least BD 1.1 is finalized and players are compliant before getting a standalone.

Cluttering my tv stand with another component for a few hundred bucks more is not what I want to do. I know there are a few tv shows and movies only on HD that I would like but just not enough to sway me to drop even more cash on yet another player. Ultimately if Universal wants to stay with HD only then there is the alternative SD release that will most likely be a nice release in itself. The show I really want on HD is LOST and we all know which platform that will ultimately end up on when the decide to release it.

^Yep, I see no need to add more components and complexity to my systems just to watch movies from one studio, which may or may not release on Blu-Ray in the future. Not worth it to me.

buying a player for one title seems a little extreme to me, but that's just my perspective.

I would like to see LOST on Blu-ray but if it doesn't happen it won't ruin my day. However, I am sure it will eventually be announced. Seeing Heroes on HD would be nice, but as I stated before I'm not willing to fork over another 300 dollars or so for another component for just a few titles that I want.
