No official numbers have been released yet but HD-DVD Players out sell Blu-Ray players 6 to 1. Walk into any store and you cannot find a Toshiba player.. Blu-Rays are stacked in isles. HD-DVD is winning on the image quality front hand down. Blu-Ray image quality is not very good on the Samsung player and Sony/Pioneer have both delayed theirs due to issues (twice). I have compared by Toshiba player to the Samsung and it is a no-brainer.
HD-DVD sports the dual format which allows both standard and Hidef on the same disk. Manufacturing is cheaper and the disks are more durable then Blu-Ray disks (scratch easy).
The decision is getting easier..
Later..
