Technically Bill Gates is already winning. The 360 LIVE Marketplace sold nearly twice as many HD downloads than BD & HD-DVD combined.

Is there a market for HDM? Yes and their will be for a long time. The money may be in DLC, but HDM will have a fair share of the market itself.

I don't suppose you could elaborate on that at all could ya?

Does it have anything to do with Jerry's thread in the HD DVD software area?

Wow. . . a superbowl ad. . . sounds like they definitely got money to burn. They should just start giving away HD DVDs free with purchase of a $100 HD DVD player. . . oh wait. . . they already did that. . .well, maybe it should be 10 free movies with a $50 player. . . yes, that will work. . .or maybe. . .

Actually it's an Advert that basically tells everyone that all current BD players ...

are junk and won't be 2.0 compatible, but that HD-DVD has had those features since day one.

Which is technically true.

Does it matter? Not until they can announce the 3rd Studio...
