Study: HD DVD Has Lead in Consumer Support

A few comments.

-An online study was needed? I guess HD DVD currently selling more than BD was too subtle to determine the current leader in consumer support?

- As you can imagine, the AVS posters probably responsible for a good amount of these posts assume that it respresents general and overwhelming support for HD DVD. Very funny.

- Look at the actual numbers:

Overall, nearly 33 percent of all online posts on HD DVD were positive, compared with 53 percent that were neutral, and 14 percent negative. Blu-ray scored a 24 percent positive rating, with 53 percent neutral and 23 percent negative.

Blu-ray posts: 24-53-23
HD DVD posts: 33-53-16

Considering all the negativism out there, is anyone shocked it amounts to only 23% of Blu-ray related posts? And, that apparently 4.83% of that is from people upset with the PS/3 having a BD drive?

What an odd thing to be upset about, unless you're already against BD.

Studio 60 derivative joke:

"Cymfony chief strategy and marketing officer Jim Nail also announced an extensive six month online survey to determine whether people think water quenches thirst".
