You spin me right round, baby, right round… smile

Sony never offered free movie vouchers with the PS3. Just $10 rebate tokens on six or seven pre-selected titles so people still had to go and pay in full for purchases....

He's being naughty and adding the Xbox drives to his 200,000 figure too (as confirmed by the HD DVD group at CES. It also includes laptop sales). Subtract that and NPD sales figures recently showed - surprisingly - that standalone player sales were roughly equal for both formats despite the price difference. Since it is probably safe to assume that at least as many PS3 owners as 360 HD drive owners use their console for movie playback, everything is just cancelling each other out. It`s all very boring. I wish one of them WOULD take a significant lead sooner rather than later so we can put this mess behind us and enjoy HD movies.
