For those of you that enjoy following the back and forth monthly battle between the two high-def DVD camps, the news this week is that HD DVD is beating Blu-ray. If you are a Blu-ray fan, have no fear, Im sure theyll waste no time responding with numbers of their own declaring themselves the winner.
Supposedly, standalone HD DVD players now hold 60-percent of the market share amongst standalone high-definition disc players, and the recent "aggressive spring retail and marketing campaigns" are to thank. Unsurprisingly, Toshiba's heavily (albeit momentarily) discounted HD-A2 was dubbed the "best-selling next-gen DVD player model to date," and we were even told that over 75,000 HD DVD titles were sold in the final week of May alone.
