    The top selling high-def disc of the week was an HD DVD release!

    Blu-ray may have officially won the high-def format war last week, but in a strange twist, the top selling high-def disc of the week was an HD DVD release.

    Yes, you read right. Universal's 'American Gangster' -- released on the same day that Toshiba announced it would drop HD DVD support -- topped Neilsen VideoScan's First Alert high-def disc charts for the week ending February 24, 2008, outselling the top Blu-ray release ('Michael Clayton') by nearly 2:1.

    Of course, the remaining nine titles on VideoScan's high-def best sellers chart were all Blu-ray titles, giving the format yet another weekly win in overall sales, with Blu-ray commanding 77% of all high-def disc sales for the week.

    A complete list of VideoScan's top ten high-def best sellers for the week follows below: (click linked titles to read our reviews)

    9. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (Blu-ray); INDEX: 19.26
    10. Crimson Tide (Blu-ray); INDEX: 18.28
