LURKER FOR THE WIN = biggest [censored] I have ever seen on 2+2 and i cannot believe that at 5 am I am gonna go dig up all the articles to back up basic logic that anybody who has been following this crap knows. Jesus christ you are a MORON.

One of Australia's biggest consumer electronics retailers, JB Hi-Fi, has wholeheartedly jumped on the Blu-ray bandwagon by announcing it won't be stocking the rival HD-DVD optical disc format-- http://www.arnnet.com.au/index.php/i...p;4;fpid;56735

2. Blu-Ray Outsells HD-DVD 2:1-- http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/multime...202090024.html

This is mostly due to the Playstation 3. Just as PS2 boosted sales of DVD and helped it to dominate (100 million+ DVD's worldwide surely helps to boost a format), PS3 is doing the same for blu-ray. Every single PS3 sold is a blu-ray player sold. Sony is the market leader in the videogame industry and will soon be churning out 2 million PS3's a month-- thus 2 million blu-ray players.

Obvioulsy the things I say about HD-DVD being dead in 2 years is simply my opinion-- but its an opinion that's based on the facts and basic logic-- theres no reason to go the HD-DVD route, NONE WHATSOEVER, especially standalone. If you already unfortunately chose to get an Xbox 360 then this is understandable, but if you're just buying a standalone HD-DVD player that is so retarded it is beyond words.

Major Australian retailer chooses a winner early.

Some pleasing news for Sony came out of the official launch for Blu-ray this morning with JB Hi-Fi confirming that they'll only be stocking Blu-ray discs and not HD DVDs.

"Blu-ray is the only format that has the ability to tell the whole story, with the most comprehensive offering on the market," said JB Hi-Fi Marketing Director Scott Browning. "With seven of Hollywood's leading studios accounting for the vast majority of 2006's home video sales, among the 170 plus companies globally that support Blu-ray disc, it makes sense that content will be king when it comes to Blu-ray."

"Indeed this is the reason that we have decided to only stock Blu-ray products at JB Hi-Fi. The range of exciting new film and TV releases as well as the potential back catalogue means that we can deliver everyone's favourite films on Blu-ray."

This isn't a good sign for HD DVD backers, but considering the discs are region free, if you're a fan you may have to import - or of course head to another retailer.
