Honestly though, do you ever start a post that doesn't begin with "Blue Ray...". Safe to assume ACTEM has some play in Blue Ray?
ACTEM, like most companies, is too small to make a Blu Ray player.
I design loudspeaker systems.
I also posted a link telling people to buy the Toshiba at USD 100.
The impact of cheap HD DVD probably won't really be felt, if ever, until the folks start buying movies to use with their Christmas presents. Spring 2008 will be a better gauge. E.g.I've got two of the HD-A2s and am not sure what to do with them yet, though I do have a buyer lined up for one of them.
Somehow I suspect that many of the bargain-hunters who jumped on the $99 HD DVD player will be taken aback when they see the cost of the software, holiday discounts and free-by-mail offers notwithstanding...

Walmart was who pioneered dvds as a loss leader. You can thank them for 1st week of date and date releases being around ~$15. If anybody can drive HDM prices down Walmart can.
If Walmart decides to be a player in the HD biz, they'll sell the discs relatively cheap. They have the bargaining power.

If they keep doing this on a regular basis, it could have a big impact. Otherwise, I'm in agreement $100 HD DVD players with $30 movies does not sound like a good solution for your Wal-Mart crowd.
Those figures are based on specific popular titles (Spiderman, esp., which wasn't released in HD-DVD) that given week. On weeks when popular titles from Paramount and Dreamworks come out that are only released on HD those numbers will probably shift again, especially now that so many HD players are being sold at rock bottom prices. M'thinks that the poll you've referenced is a bit skewed (I don't see the trend suggested by the numbers), but that is a subjective opinion as well.Cheers,

The numbers mean little to me with all the exclusive content for both formats. I don't think they mean much outside of titles released on both formats. Is Potter the next blockbuster coming to both formats?
...especially for the 5 movie sets (both formats).

... linked to the AVS forum which suggests that those figures may be grossly padded! If so, shame on SONY for the deception.
Lets also not forget, that Walmart is not part of the Nielson/Videoscan numbers. While that was never a big deal in the past since they were a minor player, they seem to have a bigger interest now.

Are you surprised BD did unusually well on Spiderman's week?
It didn't seem to keep Stringer from predicting a stalemate.
