Finally.. what is it now, oh 15 months sinse inception.. we now have HD DVDs & BDs for rent & sale at blockbuster where I am.

Can't wait to unload all the DVDs I have upgraded to. 120+ title credit should buy me at least a few brand new HD DVDs or BDs there. Off topic sorry.

More HD DVD standalone players being sold compared to BD players in Euroland right?

Cool.

"European Commission to try and force studios to switch."

If successful this would also benefit Blu-Ray as well no? Means Universal can no longer be exclusive. I think sales are low in regard to people seeking titles outside NA which is why Toshiba is whining to the European Commission. OR, maybe the DVD forum wants regional coding for HD DVD titles.

Has anyone thought that people might have just bought a HD player for Upconversion only? I mean if I continued to collect DVDs only & never wanted to make the switch to HD, I would have bought the Toshiba HD DVD player for the upconversion.

The reason I think standalones are only counted is because 3.6 million PS3's have been sold worldwide & only 180,000 360 add-on drives.
