The Home Theater Specialists of America has made it's CEDIA announcement that it is backing Blu Ray over HD DVD official yesterday.

The HTSA says it's decision was based on an internal study that showed 92 percent of category sales by HTSA members were Blu Ray. However, that balance was comprised mostly of dual format combo players. Executive director Richard Glikes of the HTSA said disc capacity, larger manufacturer adoption, content availability and better resolution are all things that make the consumer want Blu Ray over HD DVD. (Someone needs to inform Mr. Glikes that HD DVD and Blu Ray have their content encoded at the exact same resolution)

One sort of questions the relevance of this announcement, especially when the people running the HTSA can't seem to get their facts straight before issuing a press release.
