No, no. I'll always be format neutral:

Jason,
let's see some photographic evidence.

To paraphrase you:
Why would you assume that the buying habits of just the people you know would represent the entire HD community?

I didn't make a closed-case assumption... I made a conjecture and then I asked others at HTF to share their own experiences to broaden the sampling pool...

Re: Blockbuster to favor Blu-ray HD discs over DVD format
At the end of the article, it says that Blockbuster is currently more than $800,000,000 in depth. Don't know if it's true, of course.
