Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
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:
http://www.lordoftherings.net/index_400_hv_limiteddvd.html
"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.
Then why has Amazon.com already assigned an identification number to the trilogy in HD-DVD format? Search on amazon.com for lord of the rings hd dvd or just use the existing item number: B000E1MTX6.
Zombie-
You're a giant dork.
I wasn't trying to stir the pot or upset you, you're a fanboy, I should have known how easily you cry.
LOTR is already on amazon.com, I was going on that. I wasn't lying or swaying opinion.
Don't worry, I'm sure Blu-Ray will succeed, look at Sony's track record: BetaMax, MiniDisc, UMD, they can't all be failures, right?
“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%.”
I would say the attach rate of X360 add on (in the US anyways as NPD, the firm that provided the results for the above article is calculating US sales) is about 1% (about 4 million US X360 and 42K US Add-on). As far as numbers for the rest of the world, that’s anyone’s guess since those numbers aren’t in and it’s a different situation.
