Default What has HD DVD got left up their sleeves..?

Ok, so this has probably been talked about on and off now for the last 6 months but I'm interested to know from the people on this forum what they think realistically and factually based HD DVD has left to throw at Blu-ray this year and next.

From what I can make out film wise they've not really got a whole lot left in the pot so to speak. I know there's some good back catalogue movies they could bring out but no more so than the likes of Fox and co but generally Back catalogue titles don't entice people to buy into a new format(my opinion only) anywhere near what new titles do. As example I wonder how many Playstation 3 owners out there bought there first Blu-ray because of Casino Royale or now 300, huge block-buster films that people will stand up and take notice of. Evan Almighty? Bourne Ultimatum? Knocked up? From my own point of view for last quarter there's only Bourne Ultimatum that could really tempt people into buying HD DVD.

I also can't see how Toshiba even with a major drop in price will be able to compete with the volume of new Playstation 3 owners out there gained this christmas. Even if they only buy the odd film on the format the sheer numbers dictate that they'll further widen the gap to 3 to 1 by next year come the next big films hitting the format that'll persuade them to dip they're toes into the calm Blu-Ocean for the first time..

What do you guys and gals think?
