@Chris Frost, So where is the positive news for HD DVD? Studio Canal+ (who have released some HD DVD titles) have bought another studio. It doesn't say anything about their future commitment to HD DVD. It's certainly hard to see why you think they'll stay with the format when virtually every other European distributor is going Blu Ray. Not surprising really since Blu Ray dominates HD DVD in Europe.

I think you're just setting yourself up for a major fall by pretending some random business news is good news for HD DVD. It can only be a matter of time before Canal+ dumps HD DVD too.

@HD4ME, Walmart selling out of A3 players is a meaningless observation without knowing how many they had to begin with, if they intend to restock them and so on. After all, the whole point of firesales is to get rid of stock as fast as possible. It doesn't mean its especially profitable for the retailer or any indication that the format will succeed.

Indeed, if I were Toshiba and my format was doomed, I would stay schtum on my intentions and try to clear whatever players I had in my supply line for whatever price I could get just to cut my losses. Then I would announce the format was discontinued. The same thing appears to be happening here although some fanboys appear too emotionally invested to recognize the signs for what they are.
