flip a page or two in same ad and there is the usual weekend half-page ad for HD-DVD players and movies.
WTF BDA? you don't have the luxery of inevitability that DVD had with one format to succeed VHS. you're caught in a war and the only way to win is spend what it takes or take your bat and glove and go home.
63:37 is a decent lead and it's been that way for some time. you know why? 'cause right now it's only those who care with deeper pockets investing in either. when the main barrier to entry (price) is removed and the masses adopt a format, we're in trouble.

Frank,
You are one the biggest doubters and defeatist I have seen on this website. You are so busy trumping up what the HD DVD PG group is doing, that you cannot see the forrest for the trees at what the BDA is doing.
If you are so fearful at your bluray investment, so quick to point out what the BDA has not done, and so quick to champion what the HD DVD PG HAS done, go out buy you a HD DVD player, support HD DVD, and move on from this website. Your defeatist attitude is not helpful, can spread to others, and is nothing more than HD DVD PG talking points. If you are confident in your investment in bluray, stop talking about what the other side is doing, go buy your favorite bluray movies, but by all means give us a break on the defeatiest attitude, it is making me sick
