543746 2007-04-24 03:47:00 Does this reflect actual sales? Or sales AS WELL as those redeemed through vouchers. bob_doe_nz (92)
543747 2007-04-24 04:02:00 Interesting... I was in Australia during March and talked to a salesman in Hardly Normals. He told me that company policy was to not stock HD-DVD. All the way with Blu-Ray. They think they are backing the future winner he said.

Don't particularly care which one wins! As long as the price of players and writers starts to drop soon.

543748 2007-04-24 05:31:00 we still have both DVD+R/W and DVD-R/W .... but HD-DVD gets my vote because it's region-free from the start Agent_24 (57)
543749 2007-04-24 14:10:00 I vote HD-DVD also. Plan on getting one of the USB Xbox 360 drives shortly :) Chilling_Silence (9)
543750 2007-04-24 23:12:00 MS appears to favour HD-DVD, so obviously logic demands I go the other way. ;) R2x1 (4628)
543751 2007-04-24 23:23:00 MS appears to favour HD-DVD, so obviously logic demands I go the other way. ;)But Sony favours BluRay - so obviously logic demands that you spurn both :rolleyes: Erayd (23)
543752 2007-04-24 23:56:00 And Sony will rootkit its Bluray discs, and MS will put on annoying and easily cracked DRM. :D pcuser42 (130)
543753 2007-04-25 03:40:00 Considering that most people in NZ don't have a TV capable of displaying anything better than DVD quality, I don't think high def will be a big thing here - it will just gradually creep in over a number of years. Greven (91)
