It's safe to say Harry Potter will sell roughly double on Blu-ray due to there being 2.7 million players vs 750,000 HD DVD players.
I personally will be getting the HD DVD version simply because it is a combo format.

Same here. Looking forward to testing all the new stuff. Cheerio! /M

If there are really 2.7 million BD players and 750K HD players then BD should sell 7 out of 9 copies. More even because people who own both players might opt for this film in BD for the extras.
So, if Blu-ray doesn't sell 4-1, it's a failure!!!!
Absurd? Of course. But so is most of this drivel. I've seen more thought in a pep rally flyer.
There are about 1 million standalone-equivalent BD players (taking PS3 as 1/4) versus 750K HDDVD. Things break 60-40 on average, as you might expect.

I am buy ing HP on HD DVD at walmart...so there is a sale that won't count. Best to wait for numbers from WB.

maybe not so safe say. HD-DVD is higher ranked on Amazon's bestseller list for Phoenix right now. (#37 vs #55). DVD is still blowing the other two out of the water at #3 and #6 (two disc and widescreen editions, respectively)
