Seems like a lot of people are missing one important difference between the formats which is behind the higher sales for HD-DVD of Planet Earth; HD-DVD players currently have no region coding so the US Planet Earth disc can be bought say for playback in Europe for example, whereas the Blu-ray version and players are region coded therefore the Blu-Ray version is US only.

I hope you're not referring to the Amazon charts, because the general consensus is that they are rigged in HD DVD's favor.

How did they do that?
Is Amazon HD DVD biased?
Is the rumour of "HD DVD anniversary buy day" a buy month now?

PS. Could you "AVS Forum" guys tell us about this month in advance?
