Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
Hmm... this does sound logical; now that Blockbuster, the most prominent brick & mortar rental store, has gone only 1 format, it makes sense that those wanting HD-DVD mostly have no other place to turn to other than Netflix.
But the argument that people tend to rent more than they buy seems to make sense, too, especially when prices are so high for the discs.
Another stat that would be interesting to see is this: Of all the rental stores that rent out next-gen DVDs, which is more popular overall, Blu-Ray or HD-DVD? I suppose for right now that question would mean "Does Blockbuster rent more Blu-ray discs than Netflix does HD-DVD? And if not, is that because Netflix may do more business than Blockbuster does? (This whole internet movie subscription thing is pretty cool, and brick & mortar rental places are sooo 1990's)
So while this 2:1 HD-DVD on Netflix stats are interesting, there still isn't enough information for us to get a clear picture of what's going on.
But geez... just frickin' pick a format already so we don't have to deal with all this garbage!
