This is by no means a definitive survey or anything... just something I thought was mildly interesting. Basically, I compared the reviews here on DVD Talk for HD DVD and Blu-Ray, in terms of percentages, to see where the majority of reviews sit, and how they compare to each other. Enjoy/discuss at will. If anyone feels the urge to do comparisons from other websites, post them here, and I'll update everything in this first post.
