I agree but thought it was interesting. As for the HP part, I think that's just a matter of the writer not doing much research.

Although, I did like the part about Wal-Mart deciding if they were going to boot stand alone HD DVD players in favor of Blu-ray.

I thought HP meant Hewlett Packard. Harry Potter has already been announced as a gift set and barring a Paramount like deal, I don't see this happening. Did Toshiba pay off Paramount for one blockbuster this quarter? Without Transformers, HD-DVD was dead. The sales of Transformers will put things into perspective. With no great Blu-rays coming out that week, if Blu wins the week, HD-DVD will not have much in the tank. I don't think Bourne is a mainstream attraction. We shall see.
