Blu-ray sales continues to expand its lead on hd-dvd on almost a
weekly basis. The fact that Blu-ray dated releases outnumber Hd-dvd by
a wide margin in the future, and that europe will soon join in the
Blu-ray fray probably means big trouble for hd-dvd.

Plus, i started noticing unsold hd-dvd titles are starting to pile up
in best buy (ie, each title has multiple copies on the shelves),
whereas manyBD titles have only 1 or 2 copies left on the shelves (e.g.
i got the one and only Ice Age 2 copy at a northern Nj best buy)....
