- BluRay making up for lost time
- The BluRay disc format has made up for HD-DVDs early sales lead, exceeding the number of HD-DVD discs sold last month for the first time. Of course, as always, the stastistics are maddeningly short on real detail, as they dont announce how many discs in each format were sold. Discs...
