For the last time ITS NOT SONY'S BLU-RAY!!

Am sad and upset that HD-DVD which is still imo the superior format and is region free on ALL movies has to end hopefully something can be done for the existing owners and or some reductions on hd-dvd movies as I will still purchase them.

You cant when them all but at least Microsoft is winning the console war against Sony 18million vs 9million aint half bad...See what I did there? Lol.

No, but Sony sort of manages the whole thing.

And how is HD-DVD the better format? Its region free and has a 'better name' is all you seem to say. Never mind that it doesn't hold as much data.

Oh, and the PS3 has sold 10 million, as the news sites have reported today. Although the 360 maybe in the lead for now, its stalled and the PS3's catching it up. Remember, its a marathon, not a sprint, and in the grand scheme of things Sony looking to the future with their technology will help it. Oh, and so will the better games coming out for it this year.

Jesus SuperSaiyan, 360 has been out longer than PS3, so it got a head start. Your maths is s**t. Microsoft f**ked the 360 to get it out early, HD-DVD is f**ked, and PS3 WILL overtake 360 in unit sales before long. You are so blind and biased it's ridiculous.

And as Sony had a hand in developing Blu-Ray and adopted it as format of choice for PS3 and this certainly helped Blu-Ray win the battle, it is, for all intents and purposes, Sony's Blu-Ray. Being pedantic won't help you mop up your tears and just makes you look even more stupid than everybody already knows you are.

You picked a side, and you lost. Take it like a man and stop being so petty. Tit.
