HD-DVD selling 35% of the units first week is actually a really excellent result. Considering that the "BluRay" install base must be significantly higher than the HD-DVD install base.

Wonder if you'll discover that the HD-DVD camp ends up with a better "attach ratio" in the long term. Guess its always going to end like this for a dedicated player.

PS - 300 (the movie) rocks. I have some minor quibbles with it, but its a solid 9/10 - and one of the best movies of its genre ever made. Sin City also rocks (and its probably better ;)

That's a terrible result. That's probably the worst ratio for HD-DVD yet. The install base is favoring blu-ray more every day, so I'm not sure how this is positive for HD-DVD.

I agree, though, that 300 is awesome.

 Yet it's better than a ratio to DVD at the same respective time, so it's not as bad as you claim. Both formats are selling better than DVD in its first couple years.
