I know you can report classification errors, can anyone go ahead and send that info along to them?

Good luck with that.

thedvdwars.com/eproductwars.com has been HD-DVD biased ever since they came online. Actually when only HD-DVD had been launched, they had a text on the site saying someting like this:

"We are not preferring any format, we are neutral bla bla etc... we are just suggesting that you buy into the current leader to make sure we only have one format.... bla bla etc".

Guess what happend when Blu-ray was launched and overtook the sales? The text was removed.

What the frig? The Swedish language searches are almost 50/50 and the same for by country - Sweden and Finland.

Come on you amazingly-talented-at-hockey nations - get with da Blu!

it was the 'commercial' name...it's one everyone will remember..

the Blu-ray name took awhile to get stuck in the head of the public...

right around then people heard about The Matrix and the lowered price...plus the 5 free deal...

now in Q3 holidays are coming around and you can see people looking into it more...

google searches mean a lot nowadays....in some classes in school teachers say "google this" and "google that"....and I never use google, really

On the disc sales front, the war is between Blu Ray, HD DVD, and Standard DVD with Standard DVD way out in the lead.

On Google, the war is between Blu Ray, HD DUD, DVD and naughty pix and DVD actually still holds the lead!!!
