RE: Latest USA movie numbers show HD DVD losing share

Most of us have a preference when it comes to red or blu. I think it's clear that while I try to remain neutral in how I represent both sides on my site that I have a preference for one side.

The real shame is that we are divided at all, and it's Sony and Toshiba's greed that will slow adoption of both formats. Boo, shame on them.

IF Toshiba really does have TL51 working, and IF those of us who already have players will be able to upgrade our firmware to support TL51, then I wish that HD DVD would come out standing when the dust clears. They had their act together (barring combo discs) from day one, and there are more stand-alone players installed.

It still remains to be seen if Toshiba can turn all those installed players into disc sales though. Maybe next year at this time one of the sides will have finally acted like they wanted to win and we won't be arguing about red and blu anymore.
