Well, well, well. Can't wait to see how the BD fanboys and HD fanboys duke it out over this one. I think it's time to concede that none of us are going to persuade anyone in the opposite corner to switch. "Oh, so BD (or HD) won this week? What was I thinking? I'm switching." is not going to happen. Just support your format and hope for the best...best of luck to both.
Me? I'm BD and loving it, but I won't judge anyone else here.

I don't think a blue ray is going to change their mind ... but if the price of HD DVD is low enough...we have seen blue ray supporters go format neutral.
Looks like sales weren't enough to effect year to date totals. Don't forget all the walmart sales with the new A2's sold as walmart not on neilson

Yea, watching the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray people fight it out is like watching two ants fight. "No, I am one percent of the market." "Oh, no your are not, I AM one percent if the market."
I especially love the people who try to persuade people based on technical merit. Since when did being better mean you won anything? Did VHS beat Beta because it was better? Did George Bush become president because he was better?
Of course the bigger question here is what will the winner take home? Will anyone care? Or is this a battle in a war that is already over and like the audio format war that preceded it?
Quick, someone please tell me how much better Blu-Ray is than HD-DVD and where did I put my Kool-aid.
