Ben,

I really enjoy the show and have been listening since you and Warren had your first netcast argument. I too found the long-standing arguments in favor of blu-ray persuasive and resisted any suggestions that HD DVD might succeed, but the facts aren't stacking up in favor of an outright win for blu-ray.

Evidence?

Take a look at www.thedvdwars.com, where you will see that the 4th highest selling HD DVD title outsells the top blu-ray title on Amazon.

There are likely to me far more HD DVD players sold this holiday season: http://tomshardware.co.uk/2006/11/29/enderle_on_christmas_trends/

I also happen to be one of those people who prefers to wait until the bugs are worked out and a second generation product is released before buying. Like it or not, the Toshiba HD-A2 is a second gen player. This is a painful admission for me to have to make (as someone who has been planning for several years to buy a blu-ray player), but...last Saturday morning I walked out of my local Best Buy with an HD DVD player in hand. At this point I can't see HD DVD going away. At best, there will be a stalemate.
