Extension

This is mainly just a little extension from the last post about the whole format war fandango.

Found out today that Woolworths have become the first high street retailer to fully halt selling HD-DVDs in store.

Reasons for this are because Blue Ray discs outsold HD-DVDs 10 to 1 over the christmas period. This has been linked to the PlayStation 3;

“The main reason is the success of Sony’s PlayStation 3 machine. Because it plays Blu-Ray discs, there are over three quarters of a million homes in the UK that can view the new high definition format. There is nowhere near that number of HD-DVD players around."

Also the rumours that the 80 gb PS3's are being dropped are continuing, they are said to be dropped and replaced with 120-140 gb machines bundled with dual-shock 3 controllers.
