Blu-ray sells almost twice that of HD DVD in 2007

This is what I like to hear! Maybe Paramount and the other HD-DVD supporters will come to their senses.

Read the rest of the article. HD DVD will catch up in the fourth quarter. Maybe you should come to YOUR senses. You must leave the Dark Side

Oh I read it "Many believethat HD DVD may have a strong comeback in the last months of 2007."

Payback does bluray have The Matrix, Batman Begins, Transformers, Shrek The third, any of the Bourne movies yet?

Oh ya I forgot you have Robocop that was just re-released cause it looked like crap on bluray and guess what? The new version STILL looks like crap.

Come to your senses.

Well if you want to name names, does HD-DVD have the Spider man trilogy? How about the Die Hard series, or the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy? Where do you think all the Star Wars films will be going to? Or even the Lord of the Rings Trilogy?
Each format has there strong films. I wish there wasn't a format war but there is. So you either pick a side or buy both. If you can afford it.

I'll give you Spidey BUT Die Hard I can watch on DVD. Lord of the Rings were getting on HD DVD next year along with the Saw Trilogy which I can live with the DVD version.

Yes the format war sucks and believe it or not I was actually looking forward to bluray BEFORE the players came out (once I saw movies on HD DVD and bluray I saw no difference in picture quality so I went with HD DVD, plus HD DVD's interactive features actually worked from the start but bluray seems to have resolved their interactive features now) but then Sony turned me right off with their prices and their deceiving press releases telling us all how much better bluray is. Anyway we can debate forever but you're right this blows.

However I do believe HD DVD hardware sales are going up big time and this holiday HD players are gonna do big sales. Both formats will drop in price but HD DVD still remains A LOT cheaper so guess what people are going to spend their hard earned cash on this boxing day?

same here. i thought that blu-ray looked like the winner, but then the crappy machines and discs were released. i should've known, though, given sony's history of launching stillborn formats.

Betamax, Minidisk, UMD, I know theres other Sony proprietary stuff that failed. Bottom line is Sony is just too greedy so I've made a point to not but anything from them again, not even their movies on DVD.

I really could care less about both of them, I wish the studios could just stick with DVD's for the time being. I've spent too long establishing my DVD collection to begin a new collection for only a slight improvement. This not totally new formant (i.e. VHS to DVD) but attempting to make what's currently used obsolete is extremely irritating to me. I'm perfectly happy with DVD's as they are.

PS3 was the ONLY reason for higher sales. Frankly, I'm suprised Blu-Ray didn't crush HD-DVD from since the PS3 released. Just shows how much TRUE movie enthusiasts back HD-DVD rather than gamers just seein' what Blu-Ray is all about and buying a few discs to test it. Sony's trojan horse. Here's hoping to strong 4th quarter sales for HD-DVD. F*** Sony and their "my way or the highway" attitude.
