Well people didnt BUY that many BR players which was already reported.

They were Given away FREE with a HDTV thats why such Hi #'s for BR.

Also reports are saying people are returning these players for Credit.

Just google or read other websites and you will see this.

Do you think it really matters? Either way blu is way ahead and this will keep growing. How many out of the HD DVD's do you think people have returned? I bet its pretty close to the same as the Blu returns.

so do we see this as a long term trend or just a flash in the pan?

And the beauty is they can still sell blu-ray returns unlike the HD-DVD returns which keep piling up unwanted in the corner.

This does seem like an avalanche that is falling with much more speed than I expected after the relatively grinding "March to the Sea" of 2007. At this rate, Toshiba will roll up the white flag before Father's Day...

WOW that is HUGE....what surprises me more is that there are still hd dud fanatics out there that still believes hd dvd is gonna pull thru! its a DAM format people...blu is better...be happy with that

So, what kind of credit does one get for returning a zero-cost item?
