HD DVD leads Blu-ray in Europe
FYI: I figured since there were so many BD leads HD posts, I'd place this to level the playing field.

Toshiba, mainly through its $499 HD-E1 HD DVD Player, accounted for an 85% market share of next-generation blue-laser optical disc drives/players/recorders sold in Europe in January of this year, according to industry sources in Taiwan. Report

Of course, the PS3 is waiting in the wings.

Re: HD DVD leads Blu-ray in Europe
One of the list prices is here :
http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStatio...searchsource=0
That would be 350 lbs ( about $676 )
You know , if we all paid attention to the planet as a whole we probably wouldn't even have to put up with ( or work around ) Region Coding.
On the same site the Panasonic BD player clocks in at over $2000 and the Samsung at a little over half that :

Shopfloor prices are dearer still.....

I have just two words to say to you..... Shut the f*** up !

Re: HD DVD leads Blu-ray in Europe
I might as well be the pedant to say it: the UK currency is never ever referred to as 'lbs', as that refers to pounds as in weight, '£' is the symbol for pounds sterling (GBP).

Re: HD DVD leads Blu-ray in Europe
Hi,
On a key board, if you use "alt" 0163 you will get the £ sign.
Hold the "alt" key and type 0163 et viola! £
Please resume to what you were talking about. : )

Too complicated. 
ALT 156 on the numeric keyboard (Num Lock ON) will do.
