Thanks for sharing Jason. There isn't much actual "news" in that article unfortunately. I don't remember seeing any sale prices on HD-DVD on Black Friday, so it only makes sense that the numbers would be in favor of Blu-Ray for that day, but the article doesn't factor in the big $98 HD-DVD player sales in early November for that one point. Total numbers sold are so skewed with PS3 sales to people who just want it to play games, and people with laptops with HD-DVD drives in them who could care less about watching a hi-def movie on their 15.1" screen.

Of course, if you really want to get fired up, read the pi$$ing match going on in the comments. I say let's have it all. HD-DVD (which is my "favorite") AND Blu-Ray, and a combo unit that sucessfully plays them both for $100. THEN I will be happy and we will all say "Hey, do you remember way back when we used to fight over HD formats. Boy, we really acted childish back then..."
