Hmm� and many people have told me that they�ve not even heard of Blu-ray before until I told them about it.

In Europe, Blu-ray movie and gaming discs have edged out HD DVD formats in this year. How many? About 1 million plus units . This actually comprises 73 percent of the format market. One reason for this phenomenal standing perhaps is that Sony�s PlayStation 3 game consoles include Blu-ray Disc drives (since Sony backs Blu-ray). HD-DVD faces stiff competition because we all know how well the PlayStation does in the market.

However, the latest survey by Home Media Research creates confusion regarding the launch of the new generation DVD players. Currently, There are two technologies battling each other, the Blu-ray format of Sony and HD DVD of Toshiba. There are rumors that the HD DVD has already been picked as the next generation DVD but this remains to be speculation. As of this moment, the best selling Blu-ray movie titles are 300, Spider-Man 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.
