Thanks Merlins, this is good to have available.

Merlins:

Do you have a link for Home Media Magazine for the final issue of July? They don't seem to be following their usual naming convention ("....070807.... .....071507....) or they're late.

I used to follow the Nielsen ratings for high def from Digital Bits, but they're inconsistent in publishing them. HMM seemed better, until this week.

I think they are using the same syntax but I think they are going to release the online magazine two days after the printed one instead of two days before. I hope it will come up today and it looks like they are working on it. Test the link that I have added to the list. It almost works...

Well the link for 2X works (22-28th). But there are no HD stats??

Yep, thanks- they're just coming out late. Surprising turn for the better for HD DVD.

Not too surprising, since the week of the 10th there were no Blu-ray releases, and HD DVD again bad-quality catalog releases. The surprise should be to HD DVD backers, who can't even get 40% or more of weekly sales when BD isn't releasing anything and they are.
