What's the worst selling HDM title? It's be interesting to know because it could surprise people. I remember seeing somewhere that The Matador on HD DVD sold about 500 copies.

Little man anyone?

Someone here was saying FREEDOM 1 only sold like 100 units, I'm not so sure though.

I thought the Steve McQueen action/thriller BULLET sold well under a 1000 initially. Too bad, I've heard it's quite good, just not my cup.

I don't know how they will be able to sell the other volumes. At $40 for 20 minutes this was a tough buy for me, and I don't know if I'll buy the others despite being an anime fan. I'd rather buy a feature length film from Bandai Visual for $80 than a half hour OVA for $40.

Freedom volume 1 is currently #21,333 in DVD at amazon.

Yes price is a very important factor.

If you really want a movie you can oay some for it, but if you think its just an OK movie you will only buy it for a fair price HD or not.

Here is the link to that Neilsen report that Sony gave us access to back in April. From my first look it appears Comando on BD is the winner - sold 1 copy

Keep in mind there is 2006 and 2007 data there

Bullitt will be in print for years though. Classic catalogue titles tend to notch up sales by attrition over the long term. Soon, Warner will put catalogue titles in discount offers and this will drive their sales up.

I might buy the other Freedom releases because anime in HD is still somewhat novel... but if they dumped 100 titles on the market at that price/length I probably wouldn't buy any of them.

Commando only sold one copy for that timeframe? Hell if it was on HD DVD I'd buy it. Commando is classic action flic :D

I recall it being in the top ten on amazon.co.jp. It is currently at number 21 for Blu-Ray discs there beating Eragon,Departed, and Ice Age 2. I guess they are bigger McQueen fans in Japan or something.

There is a 90 minute Doc. on film editing (Bullitt won the award that year) . . in HD that shows tons of movie clips in OAR and in HD . . .Lawrence of Arabia for instance is one.

Like getting 2 movies for the price of one.

Aye, but that was never officially released. There are a few copies out in the wild though... seen one on Ebay a couple of weeks back.

I almost bought this one this weekedn at Fry's.. but at 30 bucks and all the new releases coming on HD DVD I did not make it to the register with it.

I blindly rented Matador knowing zero about the movie, and found it to be pretty good. I enjoy little surprises like that.
