According to US trade magazine Video Business, Blu-Ray has outsold HD-DVD in North America for the second month running.

The magazine's figures put Blu-Ray at an approximate 250,000 sales for February, with HD-DVD lagging behind on 125,000.

Oscar winner The Departed was released simultaneously for both formats on February 13th. DailyTech reports that the film had one of the highest first-week sales totals for either format, selling over 20,000 units on Blu-ray and 13,000 on HD DVD.

hope this continues.........i want 1 format by 2008.....or at least 1 uber dominant format by 2008. It'll help consumers most that way. Since thats the fastest way to get things down in price.

C'mon Blu-ray!

to be truthl i think theres going to be 2 formats in the future just because XBOX360 has HD and ps3 has blu-ray

well we probably can see a blu ray addon in the near future for xbox 360 but then blu ray came too soon as it's costly and there is unneeded space on them as in 10 years we wont be using blu ray we will be using the holographic media discs and cards as they can hold far more then an obsolete blu ray disc.
