That's what I keep hearing

Despite the fact that it isn't 2:1, its 1.5:1 total. The difference is trivial (<1M discs), especially considering we are talking about 1% of video sales. This is despite the fact that there are 5-8 times as many BD players out there than HD DVD players.
>>>Dual inventories and unresolved HD format wars won't help B&M retail stores' desire to use HD formats to maintain software revenue streams. Blockbuster has already made the move, can BB/CC be that far behind ?<<<
So, does this mean they will no longer carry both Full screen and Wide screen versions of the DVDs now? We know how they all hate dual inventories. CC is pushing HD DVD now, and BB is carying both equally in my area. They'll carry whatever they can make a profit on.
The truth is, that both formats are going to be around for quite a while yet.
