...Also a higher movie attach rate than Blu-ray.

by Gerry Block June 11, 2007

- In what would appear to be a weekly tradition now, the HD-DVD Promotions Group is announcing yet more progress for the format in its struggle with Blu-ray. According to the HD-DVD camp, the format now accounts for 60% of all next-gen DVD set-top players sold to this point in time. The figure does not count the PlayStation 3. The group also announced that HD-DVD is achieving a 4 to 1 movie attach rate over Blu-ray, and set a new high for movie sales in May, highlighted by more than 75,000 units sold in the last week of the month. Last month was apparently a good one for both formats, with actual consumer spending on HD-DVD and Blu-ray combining to $5.2-million, 31% more than the previous combined record.

 Guess what? It all depens on PS3 again... the success or failure of Sony´s baby will decide the probably last format war.

Any thoughts? This topic is really interesting for gamers, I think. What will the PS3 end up if Blu - Ray loses/wins?
