Truman Show, right

nice ending on IVS BTW Erik

Sorry lads, I had to start this all over

I guess I'll start by putting the HD formats numbers for the UK, so we can have something to compare to a month from now.

Feb is still TBC

Previous sales were:

Blu Ray:
October 148 discs sold
November 492 discs sold
December 1194 discs sold
January 1,174 discs sold

HD DVD:
November 673 discs sold
December 7527 discs sold
January 5525 Discs sold

Totals: Blu Ray 3008 discs
          HD DVD 13725 discs

Remember, the HD DVD add-on for the Xbox 360 was launched there last year.  This will be a golden opportunity to measure the PS3 effect in the UK.  There are about 220,000 pre-orders in the UK (breaking all previous console pre-orders).  If only 6% of the pre-order PS3 owners buy 1 BD on launch day, that would instantly place Blu-ray in the lead of the "since inception" numbers.

Let's watch the European numbers after March 23.

New Profiler, same old AcS B.S. 

Well there is actual High Def support in DVD Profiler now.

And there are a few very extremely good titles coming to HD DVD!

Amazon UK DVD Sales Ranking...

Look at the 13th top selling DVD.  It's a BD.  Actually, that should be way more than enough to put Blu-ray above HD DVD's "since inception" sales numbers right there.  That number might go up next week when the PS3 is released.  They might break the top ten like the US Amazon sales.

BTW, there are no HD DVD titles ranked in the top 100 DVD sales on that site.

Are you watching? 

Yep, watching you making an AcS of yourself 

I purpously named it HD DVD and Blu-ray

Both formats have great pro's and con's... lets not get completely back into the name calling and throwing mud towards HD DVD, or towards Blu-ray which is much smaller.
