And DirectTV has been outselling Dish for longer much than that - does that mean I should drop my Dish ASAP and go only with D*?
Who said or implied that you should drop HD-DVD?
I don't see it that way.. There is not nearly enough movies out on both formats! We purple are lucky but I'm sure glad I'm not blu or red.. They are both too limited..

I think you should drop Dish and come where the real fun is at.
DirecTV has more sports programming, no more HD Lite! (IE 1920x1080i)
And NFL ST.
No matter what they say, the movie selection on Blu-ray is the reason why they are winning and the studios support. The systems may not have a huge difference, but its all about the movies. Movies is what makes a format win and be successfull, Blu-ray outselling HD-DVD whenever a movie is released in both formats, and soon all studios (Warner) will finally notice that and put and end to the HD-DVD misery.
I hear ya. Just give me my movies. Harry Potter, Pirates, etc. for the family, Eastern Promises, The Kingdom, etc. for me.

Except they haven't improved their original HD programming. TNT etc. all still look like c***.
I think Harry Potter was Warner's gauge. At 1.2-1 and 1.3 to one, I don't see them switching to Blue exclusively. If it had been 2.2 or higher to one, that would be different.

Up until Q3, DISH Network had been adding more net customers than DIRECTV for several quarters.And DirectTV has been outselling Dish for longer much than that - does that mean I should drop my Dish ASAP and go only with D*?
At this point, it is mostly a matter of finding the greatest number of desired programs (movies, TV or general genre) or chasing after player features. Some might be compelled by the baseline feature set of one or the other.
Warner's staying purple. That would make 2008's dumbest moments in business if they were to dump all that online customer data they've obtained from HD-DVD users since Blood Diamond. The best thing HD-DVD supporters can do is to use the online features of their HD-DVD players. I've even connected with a few rentals like "Freedom: Vol 1". That interactivity data blows away any Nielsen or Videoscan data, and all the studios know it.
Paramount gave up 2/3rds of their HDM sales and went HD-DVD exclusive so anything's possible.
I'm pretty sure they are, too. I said the same thing the last time this rumor was started about HD DVD exclusivity. Warner also just announced duel release for "In the Valley of Elah" for February. I didn't see it, but I'll probably pick it up.

that doesnt mean anything paramount announced blades of glory on bd, then less then a month before it came out stated they were going hddvd only. They never put out blades of glory on bd. until it is actually released it doesnt mean anything.

So true, so true. But I suspect those already pressed copies of Blades are sitting in a warehouse somewhere, Just In Case.

No figures officially released yet, so I guess it's another wait until Monday. Surely they wouldn't hold off until next Wednesday?
