1. Yes, MFM keeps ragging on BD, and sometimes he's over the top, but in this case the comment he made does actually add context to the original article, and even helps explain it. If Blu-ray really only has 3% of the market in the UK, then it's not surprising the last comment talks about downloads being more likely to take off over there.
2. I don't believe MFM was ever a fan of HD DVD either. My understanding was that he hated both formats, but is especially irritated by EHD's Blu-ray cheerleading which is frequently misleading and frequently over the top (like posting four articles attempting to debunk that stupid "HD DVD is doing better than BD" poll, which actually served to make EHD look more ridiculous than the poll!)
I do think EHD should have included the fact BD has a 3% share over there. The article actually physically makes no sense (well, the last part anyway) without that added bit of context.
