It's pretty big in Europe. And it's around in Japan, since Toshiba is a Japanese company. We just don't hear much of sales in Japan, from either HD-DVD or blu-ray. |

Yes it is. You just want blu-ray to win because Sony made it. I don't care who wins, but I do care about the facts, and the fact is that neither is near mainstream, and another fact is that mainstream is how these will win, not making the other disappear.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Actually, according to this article:
http://australianit.news.com.au/story/0,24897,21927497-5013041,00.html
"HD movie purchases currently represent only 0.1 per cent of the $242 million spent in the DVD movie category."

I dont think anyone blew the horn and declared victory on DVD (please dont link to that Sony bozo i knwo what he said and id laugh in his face too)
Getting to one format is the first step, thats why its all about relative sales of BD and HD DVD not compared to total market, imo.
Yeah it's 0.1% and HD-DVD might as well not exist here to the regular consumer, you can't buy it in stores.
By the time Bluray or HDDVD wins, you will be able to download movies onto your AppleTV 2 (not announced yet) or other things like that, with 1080p.
I love how some PS3 owners need a new pair a pants every time Blu-Ray gets good news.
Even if Blu-Ray lost the HD disc war, the PS3 will still use Blu-Ray for your games...so I don't see the big deal. Is it because you'd rather not buy a separate HD-DVD player? Because I'm sure the players will get cheap once whichever format starts taking over DVD.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

1000 bottles of beer on the wall
1000 bottles of beer
take one down, pass it around
999 bottles of beer on the wall
Let me know when HD movie purchases represent 25% of the $242 million. 0.1% of total spent is hardly global domination - for HD perhaps, but it's a miniscule fraction of the total DVD pie...
