Dec. 26, 2007 (Investor's Business Daily delivered by Newstex) --

Both rival formats seeking to become the high-definition successor to the DVD have attracted consumers, and while Blu-ray Disc leads HD DVD, the race is far from over.

This holiday season saw some HDDVD players available for as little as $98 at Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) WMT, while $199 was a more common low price. Blu-ray Disc player makers cut their prices as well, with some machines selling for less than $299.

Including video game consoles, 2.7 million Blu-ray Disc players have sold vs. 750,000 HD DVD players in North America as of Dec. 1, say associations for both standards. Toshiba's HD DVD launched in the U.S. in April 2006, and Sony's (NYSE:SNE) SNE Blu-ray Disc that June. December figures aren't yet available, though observers say sales appear to be rising for both formats.
