So your telling me you buy it just because its cheap?
And this is from the opening paragraph of Harris's press release on the survey:
"Looking at the other devices for playing HD DVDs, 9% own a Sony PLAYSTATION®3 (which plays Blu-ray ) and 3% have the external HD DVD drive for the Xbox® 360 (which plays HD DVDs)."
Other devices for playing HD DVDs? So even Harris considers Blu-Ray as a subset of "HD DVD"?

That's not unreasonable. I've seen HDDVDs in bargain bins for prices as low as 99c-$4.99.
| blizzid said: I agree that the results are skewed, but I think everyone doing math using "300+ million Americans" is doing it wrong. These kinds of figures wouldn't count individuals; they'd count households. (If a man buys a Blu-ray player for his home, his wife is considered a Blu-ray owner as well.) The number of households in the US was around 111 million is 2007. If you do the math again using 111 million instead of 300+ million, the numbers don't look so bad. Still off, but not by orders of magnitude. |

Though you might be correct about households it looks like 128 million in '07. 128 * .09 = 11.5 million in US. 11.5 * 1.1 = 12.76million Ps3's in NA then right?

No...I buy it because I originally choose HD-DVD...and as long as I have to option to buy HD-DVDs, I will. I was just in Dallas at that Fry's, and they had ALOT of HD-DVDs...so...evidently...people are still buying them, in the US, at any rate.

A. this survey has nothing to do with SW purchases.
B. i think its the other way around. I think they are still selling HDDVD movies because no one is buying them.

They had a survey that counted of 700 people. They asked them for who you are gonna vote and Obama won; A survey of 700 people can be a very good indication for whole the country.
How about one more farewell to HD-DVD:
HD-DVD is dead...DEAD.
