It seems sales of HD DVD hardware has made a slight recovery in the States after the initial dip seen after Warner Bros' announcement that they are to ditch the format.
HD DVD player sales totaled about 33% of all high-definition set-top unit sales for the week ended January 19, according to NPD Group data. Blu-ray held onto 63% of sales while dual-format players managed 4%.
The previous week's figures from NPD had reported that Blu-ray had enjoyed a 90% market share, although it was later revealed that these figures were leaked, and not meant for release due to high Blu-ray "free player" promotional activity.
Toshiba's $100 to $200 price cuts on its HD DVD players came effective on January 13th, no doubt helping the sales along.
Toshiba will hope the upward momentum will continue - they are spending a reported $2.7 million on an ad slot during the Super Bowl on Sunday, watched last year by 90 million Americans.
With the end of the Big Spring Sale and the lead-up to Easter, Amazon has axed the price of this stunning, high-performance Alienware display.
Over the last 25 years, there has been a fair few South Park games, and here GameSpew has ranked them all from best to worst.
We are going to see a lot of crap South Park products since they sold out to paramount years ago. It's their IP they can sell out, of course; it just means the quality of their show has tanked and other products as well. Nevertheless, they put on excellent musicals, but those haven't been sold to a mega corporation.
Workers at Sega of America, a division of Sega Sammy Holdings Inc., have became the first employees at a major North American video-game company to ratify a union contract, a move that may accelerate a burgeoning labor movement in an industry known for widespread instability among its work force.
The contract, ratified Tuesday, covers around 150 people across marketing and other departments at the division’s offices in Southern California. Workers will receive minimum yearly pay increases of 4% in 2024, 3% in 2025 and 2.5% in 2026 as well as a number of other benefits, Catalina Brennan-Gatica, a representative for the Communications Workers of America, said in an interview.

Worst thing that will happen is it will have a lower stock price and ceos won't get extra millions they don't really need. Other than that the company will continue on and ppl will be treated better.
This is AWESOME - Sega seems to be progressive in their new ways - big props to Sega !!!
It's called a going out of business sale.
Yes, and let's completely completely ignore the PS3 numbers. *rolls eyes*
HD DVD:The look and sound of sh*t,go Blu!;)
for HD-DVD to even have a slither of a chance to go forward. Its amazing that people are still buying these player's at this point. Although HD-DVD isn't completely dead, it is seriously on life support. And either consumers really aren't aware of it, or they have money to burn. I was all for HD-DVD, but when its over, its over. Perhaps these people are just buying these as an upscaling dvd player?
