Certain stores here in Canada are handing out a sheet with all of the following "information" on it. Just thought I'd post it here to see what anyone has to say. To me, it seems pretty misleading on a few points. Surprisingly, there doesn't seem to be a handout like this for HD DVD. If you were to come up with a similar sheet for HD DVD (spouting hard facts or propaganda... your choice...), what would it say?
