"We have long held the belief that HD DVD is the best format for consumers based on quality and value, and with more than 1 million HD DVD players on the market, it's unfortunate to see Netflix make the decision to only stock Blu-ray titles going forward. While the Best Buy announcement says they will recommend Blu-ray, at least they will continue to carry HD DVD and offer consumers a choice at retail."

The "
at least" in this paragraph makes HD DVDs position sound really weak. It leads the reader into thinking "
at least we're not
totally screwed"
It should have read:

Including "at least" reveals that they know (and are admitting) that they are in a very bad position. Not good PR to reveal weakness.
