So far I've seen ONE HD-DVD Star Trek ad from Amazon, in which they very quickly mention HD-DVD, but the graphic only says DVD.



Right now sales are low, but it's starting to kick up a gear, it's very similar to the way DVD was introduced, one day it clicked, even your parents were talking about DVD, months earlier they wouldn't have had a clue what it was!
I agree here, I have seen Blu-ray commercial's in the UK, but nothing HD-DVD, not even the Star Trek one. Blu-ray is the dominant format here in the UK, HDM may not be selling by the bucket loads be it Blu or HD-DVD, but Blu-Ray is the biggest seller.
