Interesting new "block" chart at eProductWars

Look here. Anybody see any difference in the block legend at the top distinguishing a tie from an HD DVD win? They look the same to me. The left side of the "Top 100" is the "tie" block. I figured that out by hovering the cursor over the blocks. But the legend is indistinguishable. And following those blocks off to the right shows how similar those two colors are. Hope they fix/clarify this soon- maybe by making the tie blocks green or something.

So- is this a good or useful chart? Not?

OK, today they've changed the colors to light blue for Blu-ray and dark blue for a tie. Much better. I wonder why they didn't go with green or some other more distinctive color?

But I suppose it is a useful, at a glance read of the situation.

Well, they both use a 'blue' laser.

Ouch! I shoulda seen that one!

Well, they've messed with it again. Now it's only for the last 2 weeks. Not very informative, and perhaps designed to be misleading.
