It really doesn't matter. For some reason people still seem oblivious to how little HD formats matter. Transformers had record breaking day 1 HD format sales, and yet those sales still equaled only 2% of the total 1st day sales. Blu-ray and HD DVD are still both complete non-factors. To think, not a month ago I remember people saying DVD would be dead by 2009. These formats have been in retail more than a year and can still only take 2% of the movie sales.

it's not that i don't believe you but where did you get the 2% figure from? I guess it just goes to show how tiny of a niche it is. It would be funny to compare the userbase of DVD to HD formats.

 190,000 copies of Transformers were sold on HD DVD, compared to 8.3 million on DVD.
