BTW, it's really looking like Blu-Ray is not going to win the format wars anyway...HDDVD has been coming on really strong lately. Today there was news that Wal Mart has ordered 2 million $299 HDDVD players for this fall. That's just another blow to Blu-Ray.

 

 

actually they have been losing real badly lately, they had one good week when hddvd owners organized a buy a thon.The

2 mill order will be completed in 2008, Sony have said Br players at $300 by the end of 07. Aloso there are already 1.4 million PS3s in USA. Hddvd has been out for a year already and only sold 100k players.

 No dude face facts Blu-Ray is in a lot of trouble. The report is confirmed by insider to mean HDDVD players NOT Blu-Ray. It also means Wal Mart is now throwing a lot of money behind HDDVD. Wal Mart is huge to the casuals. It's also been confirmed to start in August 2007, and probably be below $299. The thing is that's at retail, which is a lot different than prices online. I do not believe you will find any $299 Blu-Ray players at retail this year. The fact is the Chinese cheap manufacturers have thrown their weight behind HDDVD, and that is big.

 Meanwhile HDDVD is competing better with Blu-Ray even in the face of 1 million+PS3's sold. As time goes on, the edge will swing more and more to HDDVD. Most PS3 owners are not buying movies. You said it right, 100k HDDVD players sold, and the top HDDVD on amazon is ahead of the top Blu-Ray constantly. What happens when a million HDDVD's are sold? Also that 100k figure doesn't count the 360 add on which is probably at least another 100k players.

 The war is not over but HDDVD is coming on mega-strong...Blu-Ray is in trouble.
