I wonder if there are any figures out there telling which percentage of PS3 owners have an HDTV. If the numbers are low, then that doesn't really help the BRD camp at all.

You can be sure everyone who purchases the add-on has an HDTV and will be utilizing it to its fullest extent.

I'm getting an add-on next week and am absolutely thrilled.

BTW, the killer "app" is LOTR and it hits HD-DVD in the spring. Is that enough to end this war?

The attach rate for the HD DVD and 2006 X360's was less than 2%. Not very good. For total 360's, it drops way below 1%.

"BTW, the killer "app" is LOTR and it hits HD-DVD in the spring. Is that enough to end this war?"

Yeah, nice try buddy. First of all, New Line is part of neutral studio Warner. Second of all, Peter Jackson's official LOTR site tells a different story:

"WHEN IS THE LORD OF THE RINGS GOING TO BE RELEASED IN HIGH DEFINITION (EITHER HD-DVD OR BLU-RAY)?

The high definition formats that have recently launched offer exceptional picture and sound quality in addition to new interactive bonus feature capabilities. New Line Home Entertainment is committed to the high definition format and is very excited about the idea of releasing the Trilogy in the format. However, New Line is also committed to maximizing the capabilities of the technology to deliver a cutting edge high definition experience. This will take more time as well as the participation of the filmmakers to achieve. It is currently not scheduled for release until, at the earliest, 2008."

Take note of that last sentence. In the future you might want to try lying when there's not official evidence around to prove you wrong.
