Three-quarters of a million Americans now own a dedicated HD DVD player or Xbox 360 add-on drive, the HD DVD Promotional Group said.
To date, 750,000 HD DVD devices have been sold in North America, the organisation said, citing "retailer reports and other point of sale data". It pointed to busy post-Thanksgiving purchasing as one of the reasons for the growth in sales of HD DVD kit.
Seven months ago, in April, the HD DVD Promotional Group announced that hardware sales had passed the 100,000 mark - a year after the first players went on sale. By June, the total had risen to just 150,000. So, two months to increase 50 per cent, then five months to increase by 400 per cent.

Dude Lee,
You cannot really believe everything you post. Who in their right mind, would buy any other BD player? For the price, you get a full spec BD player, a gaming system with thousands of playable games, and internet browser, a digital download feature for movies (out in japan, coming soon to the U.S.) SACD player, great upscaling DVD player (cept for the damn region lock, damn you region locks!), a great photo viewer, and an all around kick ass media hub. $500 is a steal for this piece of hardware. Buy one Lee, than sing that tune. After watching Close Encounters, you may sing a different one.
