The argument continues to rage , with no end in batch . HD DVDwas winning last week , withrumors of cheap HD DVD player flooding the market via Wal - Mart(who else ? ) . augment that was a sale spindle in HD DVD platter , though one that wascaused by an artificial ( or at least , unsustainable ) sale spike heel triggered by fervent fanboys .

This calendar week , the Blu - beam of light summer camp is reclaiming some lost ground on the battlefield of public persuasion .
Reporters are citing research by Home Media Magazinethat say Blu - ray movies outsold HD videodisc movies 70 % to 30 % in the first one-quarter of this year . ( The research was apparently backed up by Nielsen VideoScan data . )
In summation , Wired ’s Gadget Lab run an clause with this clean ultranationalistic headline:“Let the Price War Begin : Pioneer Announces $ 300 Blu - Ray Player ” . It turns out , the “ actor ” is actually a BD read - only microcomputer parkway that ’s available in China and , they propose , motley gray - market place trafficker .
Highlighting the equivocalness was last Friday ’s coverage by TG Daily ’s Mark Raby . At around noon , Raby mail a news program story entitled“Blu - ray edges out HD videodisc yet again ” . By 5:30 , however , he croak with an opinion piece,“Blu - ray not even near to winning data format warfare ” . Is this wager - hedge doublespeak ? Not at all . If you remember about it , there ’s no contradiction at all , just understandable confusion .
I say we find out the succeeder of this mess right around the time that we get word who will be the next US president . What do you say ?
