Re. BTW... the survey they did that says we wanted BD???
Sorry, Kain, but BDs are outselling HD DVDs in the US, or were as of 18 March, which is the last set of stats I've seen.
Nielsen Videoscan numbers put the number of pre-recorded BDs sold this year to 18 March at 549,730. The equivalent figure for HD DVD is 249,451 - fewer than half the Blu-ray number.
Total sales of discs to date is BD: 844,000, HD DVD: 708,600.
Unless there has been some major HD DVD sales since then, I can't see the BD vs HD DVD content ratio shifting in HD DVD's favour.
Mind you, both figures were undoubtedly microscopic compared to DVD sales...
