Can i have just a portion of that $500 million so i can afford a decent Blu Ray player? Sales for Blu Ray discs were $160 million compared to HD DVDs $103 million. Not bad considering it had 2 more studios backing Blu Ray. For WB films, Blu Ray sales in the U.S. outpaced HD DVD 60 to 40. Still slim margin. But huge gap in the UK. So be honest and say you changed your mind based on UK sales. And not to mention the Blu Ray players in the UK are far superior than the one's in the US. Oh can we have a ethernet port on the players as well as i'm sure we'll need constant firmware updates if Blu Ray wins the war as they will get lazy with their encoding of the dvds.
Both are still getting destroyed by regular DVD, those sales are abysmal compared to the billions of dollars most likely made in DVD sales. By the time either Blu-Ray or HD-DVD is the standard, digital downloading should be almost if not completely perfected.
