LOTR on HD-DVD? NO!

[Blu-Ray Buckeye]

Well at least that's what the HD-DVD fans on the Amazon are arguing. They claim that because there is a placeholder that it's going to happen. They fail to realize that Amazon has hundreds of placeholders for movies that are not yet announced for BD or HD-DVD. The other claim was that Toshiba is syaing it is coming. Weird, because I checked Toshiba's website in the HD-DVD Movies section and there is no mention of it in the Upcoming Movies:

Yeah Amazon do this all the time. They have one for Star Wars. It's just there way of getting you onto there mailing list so they can send you a load of promotional offers etc.

HD VMDs have a maximum data transfer rate of 40 Mbps versus 36 Mbps for HD DVD and Blu-ray, which gives it the potential of sharper more detailed pictures over the competing formats.

I think that placeholder has been there for over a year.
