This is the Official HTF HD Formats Comparison Thread.

Want to discuss Nielsen numbers? Talk about the different bitspace/bandwidth of the HD-formats? Audio codecs that are or aren't mandatory? Discuss BD+? Tell us why one format should rule them all? Or why two formats should go on competing with each other? Do it here.

But nowhere else!

All HTF Rules still apply.

This was a link to Home Media Magazine links in locked up thread.

Couldn't figure out how to easily get the links over here. I'll put the new links in this post like before.

Now that is a major accomplishment. HD and BD combined sales finally out sold the nearly dead VHS format. Heck, I didn't even know anyone was releasing anything other than 1.99 titles in VHS.

I hear the Mini Cooper has now outsold the Yugo.

My original thread had:

Do they still release films in VHS btw? At least
