I knew this was coming...

As expected, a positive spin from a HD DVD supporter despite the ratio being "guessed" by Dave at 61:39 signifying another losing week for HD DVD (that's not a surprise, but the HD ratio is kinda low considering Bourne)

Now Harry Potter...This is a big win for HD DVD.
With HD DVD having 800k stand alones sold and Blu-ray having somewhere around 3 Million possible players (according to the BDA/Sony), this means a format with 3-4 times the amount of players barley edged out HD DVD with considerably less. This is great news and only makes what I heard that Warner would go HD DVD only make more sense. Considering Harry Potter is a movie that not only appeals to gamers, its also a kids movie which should appeal to the Disney fans of Blu-ray...apparently it didn't. Hell, I'm actually pretty shocked as I had said previously that I thought Blu-ray would outsell HD DVD 2:1 easily, which obviously didn't happen. Looks to me that HD DVD is gaining momentum, even if they continue to lose each and every week. Not surprising when Blu-ray has 3-4 times the amount of players sold and constant BOGOs to further skew the numbers. Keep in mind HP4 has been on HD DVD for close to a year now so it could account for lower HP Boxset sales and lower HP4 sales (not by much, but I imagine it would make a small difference). I imagine once some of these $99 A2s are unwrapped after Christmas Harry Potter will sell some more copies.

Oh ok, so now ps3's are counted as blu ray players? I thought the ps3 folks are too dumb to figure out it plays blu ray movies also...

You know, at least rats on a sinking ship knew when to abandon ship when it saw the water levels rise slowly. Yet, some people are just so delusionally optimistic that they continue to stay on a sinking ship until the last moment, thinking that the big gash on the hull will patch itself up. I guess they need to drown before they realize they should've gotten on the life boat.

Sorry for the strong imagery, but it just boggles my mind how some can always put a positive spin on such negative circumstances.
