In my local HMV today I noticed that HD-DVD's have been moved from a non descript single bay display in the middle of the shop to a double display at the front of the shop, of the same size as, and right next to, Blu-ray.

Ironically, they now occupy exactly the same display area taken up by the PS3 at launch. Not sure where the PS3 was relegated to - probably along side the other games machines.

So it would appear that HMV don't see HD-DVD as a dying format. The only noticable difference between the HD-DVD and Blu-ray displays were that Blu-ray appeared to have more titles - by virtue that HD-DVD titles were mostly displayed front cover facing forward, whilst blu-ray had more titles displayed spine forward and less front cover facing forward.
