With all of the hype around the PS3 that we're going to see over the next two months though, HD-DVD is going to be struggling to get a leg up on the competition in terms of press/media time. Then after Xmas you've got the European launch, which will put them back on the front page over there.

...and the train just keeps coming...

I am so sick of the word 'FUD'. It's like the geek's version of the Paris Hilton "that's hot".

Moving on...

The 360 HD-DVD add-on is on track to sell more units than the PS3 initially. The add-on has been Amazon's number one seller in the computer and games area for quite some time. Naturally there will be a 100% attach rate for HD-DVD's with the add-on. This cannot be said about the PS3.

I doubt we will see the projected 1 million PS3's by the end of 2006 judging from all the delays and past history. EB games seems to agree with this as well.

Toshiba releasing it's second generation player before Sony's first generation and at half the price.

HD-DVD currently has more titles and is out selling BD more than 3 to 1.

Toshiba claims they have $120 million in advertising money waiting to be "unleashed" with the second generation players come out.

I would hardly say HD-DVD's time has came and gone.
