Engadget HD Podcast 061 - 12.12.2007

Rumors galore this week, as we're starting to wonder where these things come from, and which ones are true. Also this week, Blu-ray finally gets in the price war, but what kind of impact will it have on actually titles sales -- which so far have been pretty low, in fact most of the respondents to our poll have bought less than 10 titles. Finally we're excited that Dell has lowered the entry price for CableCARD enabled Media Centers and we discuss how we're getting by without our favorite HD shows, due to the strike.
