I just voted and I am suprised HD DVD is behind.

I can understand why BD is ahead, it's the hype of 50 gigs and 7.1 channels of surround sound. On paper this would be the format to choose over HD-DVD but the poll doesn't represent sales IMHO.

Listen Up People.., Rack Em and Pack Em.., We're Phantoms in 15.

Re: HD DVD vs BD poll at cnet.

The way I interpret the poll results is that both formats are losing.

The leading poll choice is: "I'm sticking to current DVD until one format wins." Leading by a huge margin too.

That about sums it up for August 2006 doesn't it?

I wouldn't argue with that interpretation and it is not suprising that most would say that. I thought I would choose Blu-Ray (may eventually), then I thought I'll wait it out and somehow I ended up with HD DVD.

I just voted (for HD-DVD) and based on the post here I though HD-DVD was behind by a lot. It's only 1.2% behind Blu-Ray which seems like a tie too me.

HD DVD is in full swing, while Blu-Ray just teased us (pissed us off) with a buggy Samsung player and sub-par software. First out the gate should have put HD DVD in a major lead. But with Toshiba going alone, there's not enough brand name recognition to take HD DVD sales to the next level.

IMHO: A tie or anything close at "this point in time" would be a loss for HD DVD (I do not assume a victory for Blu-Ray).

Voted to wait until ONE format wins....having TWO formats for any extended period of time will indeed force both into niche only status and in time, both may die off in favor of something else down the road.

Takin it easy....

Re: HD DVD vs BD poll at cnet.

Actually it's 52% for a HD format and 48% for sticking with DVD. It's when you break the 52% down that you see 23% for Blu-Ray, 23% for HD-DVD and 6% waiting for a winner to be decided. It's a tech oriented site, so it probably should be expected for HD to be winning the poll.

I'm getting a PS3, so I guess Blu-ray will rule my living room for a while. What happens beyond 2006, who knows. I'm waiting to buy a stand alone until something else happens.

My vote was to wait and see which format proves itself the best.
